The garbage can and basketball ones are cool. The rest are expected of LSers. Not that tough.

That was pretty cool. at his reaction after the "bottle on fire hydrant" trick. He musta tried that one a ton of times before he nailed it.

sounds like a fricking loser. if he dedicated half the time he has throwing the ball between his legs to just throwing the ball like a normal QB, he'd prob be a 5 star at that, too. hes a class of 2017, so soph-frosh? and hes amazing at snapping a football. ggrrrrrreat! now go get a girlfriend for christ's sake

you know college football recruiting has jumped the shark when we now have primadonna long snappers.

just to 15 year olds who master such a mundane skill and think its somehow relevant.


im all for some kid carving out a niche and getting college paid for b/c some unique skill, especially if we are talking an SC education. but for a 15 year old to take it this far seems odd. its like hes dedicated his life to be a long snapper- guys whos name you only hear if they mess up. the kid is still so young, he should be practicing something that doesnt have such a low ceiling IMO. but if the kid likes throwing footballs between his legs, who am i to stop him? just dont ask me to be impressed with it.

Go tell any college coach having a good long snapper isn't relevant. It can determine who wins or loses a game.

Based on the rest of your post (and the other post), it seems you're lying.

He's probably 18 by now, but regardless, I'm sure he didn't decide to become a LS because he wanted to make cool videos. He probably became one because he enjoyed doing it and knew he could get a college scholarship if he got really good. Once he became elite, after all the videos like Dude Perfect, he probably figured he might as well put one together, because it would be fun.

He has, and it got him a full-ride to one of the best institutions (academically and football-wise) in the nation.

He probably played another position in HS, not just LS, but wasn't good enough to get a college scholarship (or at least to a school like USC). LS normally only becomes specialized in college football. Believe it or not, not everyone is blessed with the ability to be a 5* QB just because they practice a lot or want to be one.

Why such a dick? The kid will do more snapping a football than you ever did in sports.

I'll just assume you had a bad happy hour.

You are a better man than I am - I would've lashed out at me even though I was somewhat joking.

He is talented, but perhaps that is what he wants to do.

This

Trust me from experience....if this is an area in special teams that is on lock for 4 years....well worth the scholarship. Plus if he can get downfield and tackle halfway decent....he's got himself a future.
