2020 Long-snapper commits

[CloneinWDSM]

This is the first time I have ever seen our long snapper commitment be news. I take that as being both a good and bad thing. Bad that it was never worth mentioning before (that I noticed), and good that we got this kid. Welcome to cyclONEnation.

Wirtel was a pretty high rated LS if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the information. I really had no idea nor does it seem that many others do either. Try not to act like this is common knowledge please.

You are right. Sorry about that! I edited the post!

Kohl's also writes that he's the "most athletic and explosive" longsnapper in the class. And this tweet is a few down on his profile.

Heacock, Hathcock.......how many cocks are there?

Who knew snapping was such serious business.

I looked up Kohl's Kicking camps when I first saw that this kid had committed and was pretty surprised. Jamie runs camps all over the country.
Good for him.

Interesting. The most upset I’ve ever seen Campbell was at Julian Good-Jones after PAT last year

A few things I tried to do with my son. In football I tried to teach him long snapping. Told him it was a pretty good way to make it into the NFL without having much athletic ability.

Also Throw the Knuckleball in baseball. Easiest way to make the MLB as a pitcher if you don't have a cannon of an arm. He didn't like either.

BTW I was joking when I said it. Didn't really think my son could make pro sports. However, it's not a bad way to try if you don't have the athletic ability.

Everyone should click that link and watch his snaps.

Within the last year or so, I heard Kevin McDermott (Vikings LS) talk about some of the intricacies of the position and LS/PH/K relationship on the radio. Amazed me how much of a science they have it down to for the kicking game. They obviously have to know the time it takes to snap and get it to a good hold position for protection, but I thought it was crazy that he also knows how many rotations the ball will spin from snap to hold if executed correctly (which allows them to help the place holder out by not having to spin laces away).

Wasn't there a little rumor out there that Wirtel could get drafted next year?

I wonder if those guys stand so close to the target on every snap. One goes a little to the side and they are folding over on the floor!

I think Spencer Thorton got looks as well not sure what year that would be maybe like 2012

The Dolphins have two of the funniest kicking moments in history. This one and Garo Yepremian trying to throw a pass.
