π¨ High School Long Snappers
College coaches are evaluating far more than whether the ball gets back to the punter
They want to see a complete specialist who can consistently execute under pressure, handle adversity, and impact the game in coverage situations
β Show full game snaps, not just perfect reps
β Include punts, PATs, field goals, and different snap situations
β Film in multiple environments and weather conditions if possible
β Keep the tape clean, organized, and easy to evaluate
β Show operation speed, consistency, spiral, and ball placement every rep
One of the biggest things many long snappers forget to include is punt coverage. Coaches absolutely evaluate what happens AFTER the snap
Make sure your film shows:
β’ Explosive get off after the snap
β’ Ability to get downfield quickly under control
β’ Proper leverage and pursuit angles in coverage
β’ Open field tackling ability
β’ Effort, hustle, and competitiveness every rep
β’ Awareness in space and ability to avoid blocks
When filming yourself snapping, use angles from directly behind and from the side so coaches can evaluate:
β’ Accuracy and ball location
β’ Snap to punt timing
β’ Spiral and backspin consistency
β’ Body control and mechanics
β’ Balance and flexibility
β’ Follow through and release point
At the end of the day, college programs are looking for reliable specialists they can trust in pressure situations. Consistency, toughness, athletic ability, coachability, and attention to detail separate long snappers at the next level
@CoachJernigan I think it comes down to something like a medal for every 144k. That is bloody insane. My numbers might be off a bit but damn, thats bloody impressive.
@LWillson_82@USPORTSca The difference is that educational system in Quebec is different than most the rest of the country. I have a July birthday, I graduated just before 16th birthday, while most in the rest of the country graduate just before their 18th. Cegep is the 2 year gap in between prior uni
@The_Big_P Steve, they didn't ban him, they just don't have the room on either sidelines to accommodate his enclosure. Either sidelines wouldn't be safe for all that comes with the game if the enclosure was there. It's for the safety of everyone but more so Bevo himself.
