Rubio Long Snapping traveled to the Gilbert, AZ on March 31st, 2019 for their Spring camp. Rubio Long Snapping will be traveling around the country this Spring with stops in CA, NC, WA, NJ, Northern CA, AZ, TX, IL & GA with everything leading into the biggest and best Long Snapping event in the world: VEGAS XXXIV in May!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Long Snappers from Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, California and Nevada all traveled to this camp to get the best instruction and exposure in the world of Long Snapping. The camp was loaded with talent and featured several long snappers worth noting. Arizona definitely did not disappoint!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Overall Camp Champion was Declan Cappasola. Declan was absolutely lights out all day. Throwing dime after dime. There was zero surprise that he prevailed in the end. Declan\u2019s victory did not come easy as he ran into the only snapper in the camp that might have been hotter than him, Cole McCutcheon. Something had to give. Congrats to Declan on becoming overall camp champion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Cole McCutcheon\u2026 Cole was the last man standing in the camp\u2019s speed competition. His fastest snap recorded in the competition was a .70. He very easily could have been double camp champ after making the target finals in absolutely dominating fashion. All after scoring an incredible RSI score of 50. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you know, at every Rubio Long Snapping camp, the Long Snappers are tested to receive an RSI<\/a> score. This is the most accurate and fair way to test a Long Snapper. Here are the RSI<\/a> Scores from the Arizona Camp\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP 2019 LONG SNAPPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Wiysel. When Joe gets going and is throwing the ball\nthe way he is capable of, he is very hard to beat. He has very nice jump on his\nball and is able to maintain a very solid spiral consistently throughout the\nday. He is smooth and demonstrates really solid form. Joe was the veteran guy\nof the group and he did not let down with his experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP 2020 LONG SNAPPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cole McCutcheon. As you know by now Cole had a pretty\ndominant day. It is no coincidence that Cole ended up the overall speed\nchampion and also made the finals for the overall camp championship. Cole is an\nabsolute beast. His ball is pretty and its fast. This snapper oozes with\nconfidence, and for good reason. I love how little he is phased by any signs of\npressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Logan MacGregor. Logan is on a fast track to becoming an\nelite long snapper. Logan has a huge frame and snaps the ball so effortlessly.\nHe does a phenomenal job of getting his hands and eyes deep and practically\nfolds himself in half when he snaps. Hardly ever misses his spots. Very raw\nsnapper, lots of promise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AJ Laux. AJ is a giant human being. And given his size, it\u2019s\nscary how well he moves. He snaps the ball with absolute force when he wants to\nand hits his spots all day. That\u2019s all with snapping one hand dominant. Imagine\nwhat he could do when he starts snapping with 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Tokos. Michael, much like his older brother, is\nabout as cool, calm and collected a snapper you will find. There is not much\nthat phases Michael when he snaps. He is extremely accurate and possesses very\nquick hands. I look forward to watching Michael progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luke Brandt. Luke is another snapper that is extremely raw\nand is oozing with talent. His hands are lightning quick. Luke was by far the\nbest athlete at the camp. He is an incredibly hard worker. I wouldn\u2019t be\nsurprised if Luke goes home, works hard, and becomes top notch snapper next\nweek. Id love to see what the future holds for Luke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Borak. James is an incredibly smooth snapper. I admire\nhis ability to maintain an even keel and snap the ball with limited\ndistraction. He throws an incredible ball and can improve drastically eith\nthrowing the ball more aggressively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andrew Thompson. Andrew is another very good raw snapper.\nWhen he throws the ball hard, he hits his spots with solid consistency. He has\na really nice follow through and does a good job of getting deep. Very\ncoachable snapper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP 2021 LONG SNAPPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Declan Cappasola. Declan is the real deal. He is absolutely\nautomatic with his locations and does it while throwing one of the prettiest\nballs you will see. Watch out for Declan to do huge things as he nears the sub\n.75 mark on his snaps. Kid is going to be good! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deryk Leverage. Deryk throws the ball with some real zip. As\nevidenced by his final two appearance in the camps speed competition. He is\nabsolutely textbook in his pre snap setup. And demonstrates great form\nthroughout his snap. He is a perfect example that posture and form DO translate\nto speed. Deryk shows a lot of promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Stein. Jack is a super smooth lefty with a phenomenal\nhead of hair. His upper body works almost flawlessly and he is very quick to\nget his hands through. Jack has a solid\/ thick frame that is going to see some\nmore height added to it over the next couple of years. I look forward to\nwatching Jack get his legs involved more and becoming a very good long\nsnapper.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stephen Louis. Stephen has the frame to become a top tier\nlong snapper. He is another snapper that is very raw but shows a lot of\npotential once he refines his mechanics. He is very accurate right now and does\nnot show any tendencies of missing in a certain spot. I love Stephens attitude\nand his mental approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOP 2020 LONG SNAPPERS<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyler Wigglesworth. Tyler is a very impressive snapper for\nhis young age. His eagerness to learn and improve is what makes me most excited\nabout his progress in the near future. Tyler is very quick to get his hands\nthrough and throws the ball with really nice spin. He shows very good accuracy\nas well <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colton Carmichael. Colton just loves longsnapping. You can\u2019t\nkeep a ball out of his hands. I love that about him. Combine that with the fact\nthat he is 6\u20192, as a freshman, he could be very dangerous in the very near\nfuture. He does a really good job of finishing his hands and driving his butt\nthrough his snap. Once he gets his legs working he is going to be a force.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Yarbrough. I am not sure what attracted the giant\nfreshman to this camp but Ben was another big framed snapper. Ben has a very\nlong 6\u20193 frame with arms that can practically hand the punter the ball on a\nplatter. Naturally, I love his ability to get depth with his hands. I also love\nthat he wastes very little movement with the ball and is very direct in getting\nto his follow through. Once his strength catches up to his body and he starts\nsnapping with more power, Ben could be a huge talent on the rise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
