Rubio Long Snapper Emmett Odegard commits to UMASS!

February 23, 2013 By Rubio

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Emmett Odegard (CT, 13) has committed to UMASS as a preferred walk-on!

Emmett, who was just noted in a previous blog, is a terrific Long Snapper and person. He has been with Rubio Long Snapping since 2010, made the TOP 12 last year and can easily go down as one of the hardest workers to improve the most over time. He is a true student of Long Snapping and was dominant at the 11th Annual National Kicking and Snapping Event in Las Vegas a month ago. He made it to the finals and only lost by about one inch. I am extremely impressed with and proud of Emmett! UMASS got a great one!

Congratulations to Emmett Odegard!

Meet the 2013 Members of the TOP 12!

February 21, 2013 By Rubio

After every National Snapping Event in Las Vegas in January, I choose the TOP 12 underclassmen Long Snappers. They are the best of the best out in Vegas and are selected to participate in the Invite Only TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE (these Long Snappers will be chosen after the Spring Event in Vegas) during the summer. Only the true great ones are allowed to attend the TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE camp and you must do extremely well in Vegas to be considered. The percent of Long Snappers that have been invited to this camp and continued their careers into college is well over 95%!

If you make this list, you obviously can snap the ball and do it well. Now, I wanted to give you a bit of insight on them off the field. In alphabetical order….

Rubio Long Snapper Dallas Noriega has committed to University of Alabama Birmingham!

February 20, 2013 By Rubio

Long time Rubio Long Snapper Dallas Noriega (JC, AZ) has committed on scholarship to UAB!

Dallas is a terrific 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper and even better person. Anyone that has been around him, knows his personality is over-flowing in a good way. He is a thick bodied lefty with great speed that moves very well on his feet. Extremely athletic and mobile Long Snapper that will make the Dragons extremely happy for the next couple of years!

Congratulations to Dallas Noriega!

Rubio Long Snapper Reed Buce commits to UCLA!

February 12, 2013 By Rubio

Rubio Long Snapper Reed Buce (AZ, ’13) has committed to UCLA as a preferred walk-on!

Reed is rated the #6 Long Snapper in the country and a member of the 2012 TOP 12! He is a terrific Long Snapper with great form, solid frame and wonderful attitude. UCLA has always been a dream school for him, so he couldn’t pass up this opportunity. Buce looks to compete for the starting job immediately in Westwood. He will be joining Rubio Long Snappers Chris Longo and Jay Weneta for the Bruins.

Once again, congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Reed Buce!

2014 Long Snappers may now celebrate Rankuary!

February 7, 2013 By Rubio

The rankings are completed for the class of 2014 Long Snappers post the 11th Annual National Kicking and Snapping Event in Las Vegas. This class was extremely tricky considering how many stepped up and showed me they belong in the TOP 12. Trust me when I tell you, that list was not easy nor was ranking this class…hence, why it took me the longest. Not one Long Snapper is safe with their ranking in this group and the Spring Event in Las Vegas is going to be a flat out battleground for them.

KEY POINTS:

My rankings are NOT done just from the Target
My rankings are NOT done from some mathematical formula.
My rankings ARE done by me and only me.
My rankings are based off of this blog I wrote about what makes a Long Snapper great.

A Long Snapper has the ability to adjust their ranking anytime I see them LIVE, not on video. For the rankings for the class of 2014, please go HERE

Rubio Long Snapping Makes History!

February 6, 2013 By Rubio

As you already know, today is National Signing Day for all high school athletes. It is a monster for coaches, sports writers, athletes and myself (check your Twitter and Facebook feeds).

Bottom line, today is a big day….and I want you to fully grasp how big of a day this is for Rubio Long Snapping and Long Snappers in general.

I received a picture and text from Rubio Long Snapper Carson Tinker of Bama….

He had it sent to him by the top ranked Long Snapper in the country, Cole Mazza. The picture is showing Mazza signing his letter of intent to play at Alabama for the next four years.

Big deal, right?

It gets bigger. Tinker’s text to me read “You did that man…I’m proud of Rubio…You make snappers proud….This picture is unprecedented to long snappers and you know that….congrats man. It is historical and you made that happen. Saban has offered a snapper”

Tinker is right. This is historical. Not just for Rubio Long Snapping, but for Long Snappers everywhere. Alabama has never offered a Long Snapper out of high school. Head Coach Nick Saban has never offered a Long Snapper a scholarship out of high school.

Who is next to make history with Rubio Long Snapping?

So, You Didn’t Make The TOP 12…now what?

February 5, 2013 By Rubio

For the past 2 weeks, you have been watching the TOP 12 Long Snappers get chosen one by one. Nightly, you stared at your Twitter feed or Facebook at approximately 5 pm pst waiting for the inevitable clue to be dropped. Each day, one person was ecstatic while countless others felt the opposite emotions. Last night, the final TOP 12er was chosen and a balloon was popped for many 2014, 2015 and even some 2016 Long Snappers. Now what?

Couple ways to look at it….

You can be upset with me for not selecting you. You can be upset with yourself for not performing when it counted. You can even find a way to blame others, but, it is ultimately on you. The only thing you can control is how hard and smart you work. Everyone in Vegas is competing for the same spots. Don’t let anybody outwork you and you will see different results.

You need to use this as motivation to make sure you perform better. This is all up to you. The choice is yours.

If you are a Long Snapper that strives to be the best, you want to be at that TOP 12 camp this summer. Any single athlete that has been there (scholarship Long Snappers, All-Americans, NFL players) will tell you it is, by far, the best camp they have ever been to in their life. What you need to do is get back on the horse. Work smarter and harder. Your opportunity is waiting for you in May at the Spring Event in Las Vegas.

At the Spring Event, I choose the EVENT ELITE. The EVENT ELITE is the best of the best from Vegas in May. They join the TOP 12 to form the TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp on June 21-23, 2013 in Los Angeles. There is no set number for the EVENT ELITE. I could choose one Long Snapper or I can choose 20. It all depends on the talent. I don’t choose just to choose. It would make me look ignorant in the end. If I say you belong at that camp, you are one of the best in the world. This is a true invite only camp. I do NOT just hand out invites to get people to come to it. That would give me no credibility. I choose the best because they are the best. They will represent the TOP 12, EVENT ELITE and Rubio Long Snapping the best in the future.

Are you one of them? Time to decide. Prove to me, and the rest of the world, that you belong.

Or don’t.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS…..

The 12th TOP 12er is Liam McCullough!

February 4, 2013 By Rubio

The 12th, and final, Long Snapper to be named to the exclusive TOP 12 is Liam McCullough (OH, ’15)!

Liam is the only Long Snapper from the class of 2015 that was chosen for this elite group and it is VERY well deserved. Liam came out to the 11th Annual National Event in Las Vegas and was beyond dominant from start to finish. He averaged sub .7 for a 15 yard snap and I didn’t see a bad ball all weekend. He has increased his size and is snapping with a ton of confidence.

Once again, congratulations to the final member of the TOP 12 – Liam McCullough!

January 31, 2013 By Rubio

The 10th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Bronson Bruneau (MN, ’14)!

Bronson is an incredible talent with an extremely long frame. He snaps the ball very quickly right now and is still raw. With some fine tuning, he could easily move well into the top of his class. Keep a very close eye on this Long Snapper.

Once again, congratulations to the 10th TOP 12er – Bronson Bruneau!

YouTube videos from the 11th Annual Event

January 30, 2013 By Rubio

ALL of the YouTube videos are up for the Long Snappers from the 11th Annual Event in Las Vegas. To view them, simply go the Rubio Long Snapping YouTube channel and type in the Long Snapper’s name you’d like to embrace. That should give you a list of that Long Snapper’s videos that he has done with me. If you are still having troubles, type in “Rubio Long Snapping, Name of Long Snapper, 11th Annual Event” and this should do it.

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER:

Anytime you go to a Rubio Long Snapping camp, you get another YouTube video made for you.
All of these videos will be posted on your profile within two more weeks.
Yes, you can use these videos for your own recruiting purposes and you should as it shows credibility from me and not some Average Joe making it.
No, I don’t know how to download them but I bet Google does:)

8th TOP 12er is Davis Winkie!

January 29, 2013 By Rubio

The 8th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Davis Winkie (GA, ’14)!

Davis has continued to just improve and improve over the past couple of years. Always had tremendous size and just needed to control it. Well, it looks like he is doing it now and that is not good news for the rest of his class. Easy D1 size and speed right now. As long as he continues to maintain his form, there is no telling how far he can go with his snapping.

Once again, congratulations to the 8th member of the TOP 12 – Davis Winkie!

The 7th TOP 12er is Reid Buckingham!

January 28, 2013 By Rubio

The 7th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Reid Buckingham (KS, ’14)!

Reid had an excellent weekend out in Vegas for the 11th Annual Event. His form is solid and so is his body. As he continues to fine tune the little things, he will continue to move up the charts. Works well under pressure and is driven.

Once again, congratulations to the 7th member of the TOP 12 – Reid Buckingham!

Rubio Long Snapper Rick Lovato of Old Dominion Earns Award!

January 28, 2013 By Rubio

Rubio Long Snapping Rick Lovato of Old Dominion was named to the College Sporting News Fabulous All-American Team!

As you can imagine, this is quite an honor for a true sophomore but very well deserved. TOP 12 Long Snapper Lovato has been flawless in two seasons for the Monarchs.

Lovato is a tremendous Long Snapper and person with a very bright future. He started with Rubio Long Snapping in 2009 and was a late pickup for Old Dominion that panned out beautifully!

Congratulations once again to Rubio Long Snapper Rick Lovato!

January 27, 2013 By Rubio

The 6th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Casey Wilson (GA, ’14)!

Casey was exceptional, yet again, out in Vegas on January 19-20. Watching him snap is a thing of beauty. He possesses excellent form and is as smooth as anyone in the country. I continue to be impressed with his snapping and his demeanor.

Once again, congratulations to the 6th member of the TOP 12 – Casey Wilson!

5th TOP 12 Member is Nate Adams!

January 26, 2013 By Rubio

The 5th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Nate Adams (AZ ’14)!

Nate is an incredible all-around athlete with a very solid, muscular frame. Runs like a gazelle and is smooth when he snaps. He has all the tools to be a great one.

4th TOP 12er is Tanner Carew!

January 25, 2013 By Rubio

The 4th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Tanner Carew (CA ’14)!

Tanner has a terrific, lean frame that is very athletic. Moves well on his feet and is really letting the ball fly out of his hands. His form is solid and he is very coachable. With the right work and some tweaking, Tanner could see him at the top of his class shortly. It is all up to him.

Once again, congratulations to the 4th member of the TOP 12, Tanner Carew!

3rd TOP 12er is Wyatt Pfeifer!

January 24, 2013 By Rubio

The 3rd member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Wyatt Pfeifer (OH, ’14)!

Wyatt has a very solid frame and was one of the most consistent Long Snappers out in Vegas this past weekend. He snaps a very smooth and catchable ball that is on point. Wyatt has excellent form and uses his large lower half very, very well.

Congratulations to next member of the TOP 12, Wyatt Pfeifer!
