Creating My Own Highlight Tape, Good Idea or Bad?

March 27, 2013 By Rubio

We are asked this question all the time:

Should I make my own Highlight Tape or have a professional do it?

If you look at investment of having a professional do it the right way vs. the potential awareness it will drive to you as a potential College Long Snapper the answer is pretty clear. Have a pro do it for you!

A Highlight tape in most cases is the one shot you have to impress a college coach in just a few short seconds. It is essential that it is done professionally and clearly defines you and your skill set. When choosing a Film maker consult with Rubio Long Snapping prior as we know what makes the perfect Long Snapping Highlight Tape.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when developing a Highlight Tape:

Put your Best Clips at the beginning of the Tape, in some cases you only have a few seconds to catch the attention of college scouts.
Make sure you include a small bio, contact info, jersey colors, your number, GPA, SAT Score, etc.
Follow up, be persistent make sure the coaches received your tape and that they viewed it.
Leverage your online presence by showcasing the Video across all your Social Media Sites, Youtube Channels, Scouting Website Profiles, etc. you never know who will see it.

Prior to any attempt at creating a Highlight Tape consult with Rubio Long Snapping to guide in the right direction.

Can I Change my Mind after a Verbal Commitment?

March 15, 2013 By Rubio

The high school football recruiting process can be a lengthy one, and you may be thrilled to finally receive an offer to play at one of your top choice schools. It’s common to feel pressured to respond to offers quickly, and in many cases, you’ll do this by making a verbal commitment. This is when you tell the recruiter or coach that you are planning to play at their school. However, this verbal commitment is not a binding one. The only binding commitment is signing a written contract.

There are some cases when you may want to change your decision after making a verbal commitment. Maybe your dream school came back with a surprise offer that you would rather accept. Or perhaps the scholarship you thought you were getting from the school you made a verbal commitment to wasn’t as generous as you first thought. After making your verbal commitment, it’s important to do your research and make sure this is the school you actually want to go to. If you decide otherwise, politely let the school know you have changed your mind and will be pursuing other options next year.

Contact Rubio Long Snapping for more information on Verbal Commitments.

Rubio Long Snapper Matt Bayliss Commits to the University of Texas at San Antonio

March 6, 2013 By Rubio

Rubio Long Snapper Matt Bayliss (OK, ’13) has committed to the University of Texas at San Antonio as a preferred walk-on!

Bayliss, a TOP 12 member, is a massive talent that turned down several other smaller school scholarships and larger school preferred walk-ons. He chose UTSA for it’s location, solid fan base, move of conference and staff. He should compete for a starting postion immediately in San Antonio.

I am very proud of Bayliss as he has come with his snapping. He has always had the length and now he has the form that enabled to get this opportunity. Great person and I wish him the best.

Congratulations to Matt Bayliss!

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

National Signing Day 2013 – Rubio Long Snapping Dominates

February 7, 2013 By Rubio

National College Signing Day for 2013 has concluded and once again Rubio Long Snapping is in the middle of the action. Alabama, USC, Nebraska, and Michigan top the list of schools that have received commitments from Rubio Long Snappers.

6′ 2″ 241 lb. Cole Mazza from Bakersfield, CA committed to the Crimson Tide as one of 25 commitments to the nation’s number one college football program. Originally committed to UCLA Mazza de-committed from the Bruins when it became clear that he was the number one long snapper prospect for D1 college football programs. Chris Rubio isn’t surprised noting in an interview with Alabama website AL.com that “I can honestly say I have never seen such an overall dominant performance by a long snapper. There was no doubt he was the best in the country. Mazza is as good, if not better, than advertised. If he continues at this pace with his snapping and his attitude, there is no telling how far he can go.”

Other promising Rubio Long Snapping alumni include Zach Smith to USC, Chase Domiguez to Utah, Gabriel Miller to Nebraska, Scott Sypniewski to Michigan. Brendan Turelli to Wyoming, Mike Lizanich to Tulane and Tucker Estheridge to Louisiana Tech. In all thirty two Rubio Long Snapping alumni committed to major college football programs reaffirming that when it comes to Long Snapping Rubio leads the pack. Click HERE for the complete list and visit rubiolongsnapping.com for more details on upcoming camps and the value of being a talented high school Long Snapper.

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?

Rubio Long Snapper Alex Arnaud has committed to the Arizona Wildcats!

February 6, 2013 By Rubio

Rubio Long Snapper Alex Arnaud (AZ, ’13) has committed to the University of Arizona as a preferred walk-on!

Arnaud had several smaller school offers but decided he wanted to attend his dream school and he will be a Wildcat in the fall.

Arnaud is a very strong Long Snapper that is coachable. Very solid pick up for Arizona.

Rubio Long Snapper John Wirtel has committed to Kansas!

February 5, 2013 By Rubio

5 Star Rubio Long Snapper John Wirtel (IL, ’13) has committed the University of Kansas as a preferred walk-on!

John came off a terrific Vegas Event where he was snapping with tremendous confidence and excellent form. He is one of the smoothest Long Snappers in his class and this opportunity for him is very well deserved.

Per the Rubio Long Snapping website, “Wirtel is now ready for the next level. He has great length and a solid frame that could easily put on 30 lbs. He listens well and is very coachable. Snaps a nice, smooth ball that is on target. Speed is at the D1 level when he snaps the ball hard, which is pretty much every single time now (and I love it). He moves well on his feet and his going to be a very accurate/consistent Long Snapper at the next level. Not flashy, but he doesn’t need to be as a Long Snapper. Excellent work ethic.”

He will be joining Rubio Long Snapper Justin Carnes at Kansas and looks to fill in his shoes after this season.

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!

2015 Long Snappers may now celebrate Rankuary!

February 4, 2013 By Rubio

The rankings are completed for the class of 2015 Long Snappers post the 11th Annual National Kicking and Snapping Event in Las Vegas. This was a very difficult class for me to rank due to their talent level. I have never had a sophomore class that was this advanced. The next year of camps is going to amazing to watch this group continue to advance. May will be very intense for this class. They will no longer be the babies, they will be ready to truly run with the big dogs.

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 2015, please go HERE

Rubio Long Snapper Jerred Sonneborn commits to Washington St.

February 3, 2013 By Rubio

Rubio Long Snapper Jerred Sonneborn (WA, ’13) has committed to Washington State University as a preferred walk-on!

Sonneborn, who had full offers from smaller schools, has always dreamed of being a Coug and couldn’t pass up this opportunity when special teams Coach Russell extended the offer his way.

Jerred has come a long way since first starting with Rubio Long Snapping. He was originally close to 300 lbs and all lineman that could somewhat snap. Now, he is 250 lbs and a very solid Long Snapper that can also play line.

Sonneborn will be joining fellow Rubio Long Snappers, Alex Den Bleyker and Ryan Saparto at WSU.

Once again, congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Jerred Sonneborn on his commitment to WSU.

The 11th TOP 12er is Zach Wade!

February 1, 2013 By Rubio

The 11th member of the exclusive TOP 12 is Zach Wade (GA, ’14)!

Zach had another strong showing at a Rubio Long Snapping camp. In Vegas, he was smooth, on target and snapping the ball extremely quick. He has very good form and he snaps the ball hard every snap. Handles pressure well and snaps with confidence.

Once again, congratulations to the 11th TOP 12er – Zach Wade.
