What makes YOU the best Long Snapper in the Country?<\/strong><\/div>\n
I’ve shown on multiple occasions that I am one of if not the most consistent and accurate snappers who also throws one of the fastest balls in my class. I dominantly won Vegas 34 and had the fastest average at the camp. At January Vegas I was in the first group of snappers to earn a Top 12 invite. At Top 12, I believe I outperformed most of the snappers ahead of me and everyone behind. I can’t remember one bad snap throughout the entire weekend. I’ve dominated multiple college camps where I made it my mission to be the one to beat and left no doubt I was the best snapper there. Outside of snapping, on the field I have started at many positions such as LB, DE, DT, TE, HB, and have played on kickoff and kickoff return since my sophomore year at a dominant South Jersey high school program. When I’m in the game I play the game with more passion then anybody else on the field. There is no doubt I am one of the most athletic snappers in my class. All around I have shown in every avenue I am a TOP snapper in my class whether it’s mentality, speed, accuracy, or athleticism I’ve proved it all.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
What is one unique things about you that not everyone might know?<\/strong><\/div>\n
One unique quality about myself is that I’m an amazing street hockey player. If street hockey was a college sport I’d be on FULL SCHOLARSHIP! I was asked to play for Team USA who recently traveled to Czech Republic and Switzerland but I’m a Long Snapper first.<\/div>\n
