December 1, 2015 By

Here is the semi-final list for this year’s Chris Rubio Award. These Long Snappers have proven, through multiple stats, that they deserve to be on this list to possibly win the award on January 15, 2016 in Las Vegas, NV at the JW Marriott.

The members of this semi-final list will now be required to provide the following…

  • Three letters of recommendation (scanned and emailed to Rubio@RubioLongSnapping.com) from a current coach, a current teacher and a reporter that covers their area explaining why the Long Snapper deserves to win this prestigious award (that is THREE total letters).

Everything mentioned above needs to be emailed by no later than December 5, 2015 at 5:00 pm pst. If all is not received by December 5, 2015 at 5:00 pm pst, the Long Snapper will NOT have a chance to win the award.

Why Jake Munoz Being Offered a Scholarship is Such a BIG Deal

July 30, 2015 By
Jake Munoz

Jake Munoz

Earlier today, I posted on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin that Rubio Long Snapper Jake Munoz (GA, ’16) had been offered a full scholarship to Georgia St.

You may have glanced at this for a moment and just thought, oh, just another Rubio Long Snapper headed to college. If you did that, you shouldn’t have and here is why.

For those of that don’t know, Munoz has Retinal Cone Dystophy (an inherited ocular disorder characterized by the loss of cone cells, the photoreceptors responsible for both central and color vision). In layman’s terms, Munoz sees, at all times, like a “normal” person does right when they come out of a noon movie into extremely bright sunshine outside. You know what I am talking about? Been in the dark for a couple hours, you walk out of the movie and the outside world is the brightest thing on the planet. It basically hurts your eyes, you immediately squint and your vision is VERY limited.

That is Jake Munoz’s life AT ALL TIMES and he just earned a full scholarship to be a Long Snapper in college. What an absolute stud and I am extremely proud of how far he has come in the past couple of years with Rubio Long Snapping.

Congratulations to Munoz and his whole family on this incredible accomplishment.

UPDATE: Jake has committed to Georgia State!

FULL Article from the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in GA (11/23)

December 4, 2014 By

The rankings are completed for ALL Long Snappers that participated in the Rubio Long Snapping fall Camp in GA.

Long Snappers came in from FL, MS, TN, AL, OH, SC, KY and, of course, GA to learn from the best and get the most exposure possible for Long Snappers.

Next ranking opportunity will be in TX on December 7th and at VEGAS XXV.

Blake Ferguson

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.

  • Liam McCullough left absolutely no doubt he is one of the most dominant Long Snappers in the country. I timed him a couple times in the .5s!
  • Drew McCracken was snapping with great confidence and poise. Definitely a top tier Long Snapper.
  • Hunter Womac showed great promise and improvement. Watch this TALL Long Snapper.
  • Kyle Varnell might have the most potential of any Long Snapper in the country.
  • Logan Hamilton looked very sharp and smooth. Tons of greatness from him throughout the day.
  • Ryan Parris is a very strong Long Snapper that has waves of brilliance.

Notables: Tyler Gilliam, Ben Warner, Braxton Hale and Ty Mimbs.

Meyer, Scott

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.

    • Anthony Ratliff had an excellent day in GA. He has really improved his overall balance and form. Kid was throwing some very fast snaps all day. Keep a very close eye on him at VEGAS XXV. TOP 12?

    Jake Munoz was throwing some severe heat all day and will dominate once his spiral locked down. This kid is always improving.

  • Josh Brady has a tremendous frame, good form and is beginning to snap with a lot of confidence.
  • Jacob Fuqua was very sharp and impressive all day in GA.
  • Logan Klusman moved way up the charts after his tremendous performance at the GA camp. Definitely one to watch.
  • Thomas Newberg has the frame and form to take him a long way with his snapping. Size and speed will be big for him at VEGAS XXV and beyond.

Notables: Gabe Skrobot, Bradley Watkins, Tanner Sineath, Koby Pyrz, Colton Piatt and Sandy Barstow

Potter, Jacob

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.

  • Grant Miller has come A LONG, LONG way and has really transformed himself into one heck of a Long Snapper. Has all of the tools to dominate his class in due time.
  • Eli McMullen looked very impressive all day long in GA. Good frame and he listens well. Definitely headed in the right direction.

Notables: Javier King and Callen Davidson

Roen McCullough

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.

  • Clay James was very solid all day long in GA. Some little tweaks will really help him out. Very quick hands.
  • Cade Long impressed me with his good form and leg pop. One to watch.
  • Parker Lefton has very good form and is always improving.
  • Jarrett Key had an excellent day and could push for the top spot at VEGAS XXV.

Notables: Dillon Hayes and Camren Wood
