TOP 2015 LONG SNAPPERS

  • Tyler Griffiths was exquisite all day in NC. Snapping with a ton of confidence and he is snapping with great power. NC State got a great one in Griffiths.

  • Drew McCracken was snapping with great power and an improved, muscular body in GA. Kid is an incredible athlete and will be a playmaker.

  • Garrett Wilson caught fire in GA and was unstoppable. Passes an eye ball test really quick and leaves no doubt he is ready for college.
  • Marco Cadavieco is, easily, one of the smoothest Long Snappers in his class. Love his drive and attitude.
  • Jamie Land was the best I have seen him in NC. Snapped with great confidence and showed why he is one of the top Long Snappers in the south.

  • If you would like anything added to your profile page, simply email me (Rubio@RubioLongSnapping.com) the information and consider it done.

Happy Ranksgiving to the Class of 2015 Long Snappers

February 10, 2015 By

VEGAS XXV FinalsThe rankings are completed for ALL 2015 Long Snappers that participated in the Rubio Long Snapping National Event: VEGAS XXV!

Approximately 300 Long Snappers came in from nearly every state in the country and even Canada to learn from the best and get the most exposure possible for Long Snappers. This was what you call a true national event to see how you really compare against the best in the world. As I stated before, there is nothing like Vegas and this one definitely did not disappoint. Testimonials are coming in non-stop regarding the weekend.  With the addition of an agility and tackling station, athleticism really played a role in the rankings.

This group was simply amazing with the level of talent they brought out to the field on both days. I could make this post 20 pages long talking about each and every one of them. Here are the best of the best….

  • Blake Ferguson was like a machine. Every thing you hear about him is true, plus more. He is that good.
  • Wesley Farnsworth is, easily, the most athletic Long Snapper in the country and I would put him up against any other high school player and still have my money on Farnsworth.
  • Liam McCullough has rockets for hands and catches fire.
  • AJ Carty will put a hole in his punter if he is not paying attention. Timed him several times in the .5s!
  • Tyler Griffiths has never once looked better after a camp. Kid is always improving.
  • Michael Poujol is, by far, the best available Long Snapper in the country.
  • Grant Gluhaich was simply amazing all weekend. Fire comes off his ball it is moving so quickly. Missed winning by two inches.
  • Jordan Ober handles pressure as well anyone in the country.
  • Hayden Sak is a massive man with tons of potential and talent.
  • Travis Baugus was on fire and snapping with great confidence. Passes an eyeball test quickly.
  • Drew McCracken is a pure athlete that rips the ball back to the punter.
  • Ryan Simmons was oozing confidence and he was outstanding all weekend.

Notables: Richard Wilcox, Brendan Lowery, Matt Foley, Chase Urbach, Owen Gilbert, Peter Comaroto, Ryan Parris, Harrison Hoffman, Logan Hamilton, Zach Wood, JT Bale, Kyle Varnell, Marco Cadavieco, Christian Samarzich, Landon Giammalva, Michael Soto, Wyatt Leath and Ryan Oak.

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
