Next ranking opportunity will be in TX on December 7th and at VEGAS XXV.
Blake Ferguson
The best 2015 Long Snapper at the camp was Blake Ferguson. The accuracy and consistency Blake showed was uncanny. His misses were by inches and every snap is within milliseconds of each other. The kid is a machine right now.
Notables: Tyler Gilliam, Ben Warner, Braxton Hale and Ty Mimbs.
Scott Meyer
The best 2016 Long Snapper at the camp was Scott Meyer. Meyer was on fire all day with speeds in the .6s and handling pressure like a champ…which he was at the end of the camp. Major move for Meyer in the rankings and well deserved.
Jake Munoz was throwing some severe heat all day and will dominate once his spiral locked down. This kid is always improving.
Notables: Gabe Skrobot, Bradley Watkins, Tanner Sineath, Koby Pyrz, Colton Piatt and Sandy Barstow
Jacob Potter
The best 2017 Long Snapper at the camp was Jacob Potter. Jacob had a great camp and looks to compete for the top spot at VEGAS XXV. He is built very well and snaps a strong, powerful ball.
Notables: Javier King and Callen Davidson
Roen McCullough
The best 2018 Long Snapper at the camp was Roen McCullough. Roen is filled with potential and showed some great things at the camp. He looks and snaps like a junior in high school. Keep a very close eye on him throughout the next couple of years and beyond.
Notables: Dillon Hayes and Camren Wood

Rubio Long Snapper & EVENT ELITE member Carson Vey (NJ, ’15) has committed to the University of Penn!
Vey is, easily, one of the most athletic Long Snappers in the country. To go along with his excellent athletic ability, Vey is also one heck of a student (hence, being admitted to an Ivy League school).
A true competitor, Vey has improved drastically over the past year and has a frame that can take him very far with his Long Snapping.
Congratulations to Vey and his family!
1515
Rubio Long Snapper Elias McMurry (NC, ’15) has committed to Appalachian St. as a preferred walk-on!

He will graduate in December and enroll in January. Elias will be joining Rubio Long Snapper Brett Heimrich who is the current starting Long Snapper for the Mountaineers.
Congratulations to Elias and his family!

Merka is an excellent Long Snapper with tremendous form that moves well on his feet and delivers a crisp, clean ball.

Many of you, especially if you are from Texas, know the Frese family. Mike and Kami, the parents, have produced two amazing Rubio Long Snappers in Nolan (University of Houston) and Jordan (Texas A&M). The Frese family has been with Rubio Long Snapping for almost ten years at this point. Great family and always willing to help out the first time parents, kids and anyone else that needed some assisistance.
Now, they need some help from you….
On Sunday afternoon, I received a text from Mike that said “Can u please call me when u have a minute.” I called and we spoke for some time. Here is what I was told (I am going to cut and paste from their Facebook so all of the details are correct….
Family & friends
After a week or so of testing and medical procedures, Jordan has been diagnosed with a heart problem that will prevent his participation in competitive athletics for a minimum of six months and most likely a full year.
A team administered stress EKG a few weeks ago showed some higher pressures inside his heart chambers, and led to an MRI followed by a heart cath procedure this morning in College Station. The immediate diagnosis is pericarditis, which is inflammation and restriction from the pericardium – the sack that contains your heart. Accompanying this is suspected myocarditis which is inflammation of the heart muscle itself. Both are likely caused by a virus in his past, but there is no real way to know the cause, other than it has probably been going on for about two years.
Interestingly, he is in such good shape that he never displayed any telling symptoms. His body compensated through adaptation of his SVC and IVC (the vena cavas) which are the primary veins in and out of the heart. His are literally 2-3 times larger than normal, and it is this development that will limit competitive athletic activities for the foreseeable future. The biggest concern would be a rupture of one of the vena cavas due to hard contact or extreme exertion.
Immediately, he is no longer able to participate in athletics or moderately strenuous activities. He will begin taking two medicines designed to fight the inflammation and repair any fibrosis (scarring) of his pericardium. After six months, he will undergo another MRI to evaluate the progress. How his SVC and IVC’s respond will determine any athletic future for him, but that response and any timeline of response is a complete medical unknown.
Any personal decisions regarding his long term interest in pursuing athletics as well as how he will proceed at A&M are all things we will be discussing over the next weeks and will keep you updated. For now, he will remain a part of the A&M football program at least through the bowl game season.
Please pray for Jordan’s long term health and recovery and for His guidance in our decision making regarding Jordan’s future. Thank you for your concern, and giving us some privacy while we sort through all the facts coming our way over the next several months.
Today, we are thanking God that his participation in athletics helped identify this issue early as well as that he wasn’t taken from us early due to that participation. God still has a plan for Jordan, it’s just gonna take a little time to figure it all out. We’ll keep you posted.
– Mike & Kami
