Today we are featuring Joe Lang from the Rubio Long Snapping class of 2014!
What is your occupation?
I work as a Financial Business Intelligence Analyst at a wealth management firm
Where do you live?
I live in Pheonix Arizona
Married? Kids?
I am married and hope to have kids someday
What is your fondest memory of your time playing college football?
Being around all of my teammates in the offseason and on away game road trips is what I remember most, we also got the chance to play at some historic venues, ones I dreamed of playing at as a kid.
If you could give ONE bit of advice to the current Rubio Long Snappers, what would it be? Snapping PARENTS, what would it be?
My piece of advice to snappers is to not let anyone put you in a box, play as many sports, join as many clubs and gather as many experiences as possible. High school and college only happen once.
For parents, I would mirror what I said above, if you let your kid explore as many avenues as possible it will only make them a better snapper and a more rounded person.
When was the last time you snapped a ball and for what reason?
My brother and I snapped in a lesson recently to remind everyone who the kings were. (sore for a week)
If you could go back and play football in college again, would you go to the same school or a different one? Why?
I would go to the same schools, Washington state was my childhood dream school because of my dad working there as a strength coach. And after transferring to UNLV I fell in love with the rebels and Las Vegas. That program really is on the rise too.
Any regrets during college? Anything you wish you had done or hadn’t done?
I do regret not continuing to play another position even if it was only on scout team. I got to play tight end and full back a bit at WSU and should have continued that path.
What tremendous thing have you been a part of or experienced since you graduated?
That is a tough question, I can’t pin point one specific experience but since I have graduated I have moved to 3 different states, gone to grad school and gotten married. Every step of the way since college I have been able to experience so much, I am going to cop out and say the entire ride has been tremendous.
