From minimum plays in Pop Warner to making it to the NFL?

Longsnapping was my ticket. When I first started, I struggled with technique and overall consistency. I sought out coaching from Rubio Long Snapping, rose in the ranks (12th nationally, class of 2010) and ultimately had 4 schools recruit me.

🚨 LONGSNAPPERS 🚨

Chest up, weight back 60/40, hands out in front. FEET IN THE GROUND, Drive elbows, eyes through and finish your hands.

Snapping is about timing. If your form is out of sync with your hands, eyes and legs, you will struggle with consistency.

Think about hitting a baseball. ⚾️ Hands, hips and eyes have to be in sync and time up to transfer power through the bat to the ball.

Same with snapping! Practice this drill not until you get it right, but until you can’t get it wrong.

Most people mess up “look” snapping because when they “look” at their punter, they lean forward and collapse their upper body.

Look snapping doesn’t mean actually look at your punter before you snap. It means “chin tucked” snapping.

Keep your weight back, chin tucked and snap. This will help you stay grounded with your feet and transfer your power BACK towards your target. Not UP ⬆️ towards the sky.

I encourage chin tuck snapping because you’re eyes are already though. They can’t be late ;)

If you’re on the fence of looking snapping, just relax your neck pre snap while keeping your chest up and weight back.

Looking to get a better spiral?

1. Set your hips. This actually helps get your legs back where they need to be in order to drive our legs out of the way so our elbows don’t hit our inner thighs

2. Widen your knees out just a touch. This increases our “Snappers Window” so our elbows have more room to drive.

3. Rotate or cock your dominate hand about an 1/8th of a turn. This helps your elbows be pointed more back towards punter pre snap to get them through cleanly. You don’t need to use your elbows as a whip. The most important thing is that they drive back and don’t hit your legs.

All of these things combined help our hands finish cleanly to get the spiral, accuracy and quickness we desire.

Win the rep before it happens. Pre snap body position is crucial for snap success. We did over 1 hour of drill work before we hit our snapping session with our punter.

Dialing in our stance, setting our hips, knees out, weight back, elbow drive, hand finish. All working together so the ball has no choice to go where we snap it too. At the same time, loading our hips back and snapping through our target 🎯 allows us to transition into blocking with a smooth blend.

Snapping and Blocking is becoming more common at the next level. I train all my guys with a snapping foundation that allows for smooth transitions into blocking.

If you’re not grounded with your feet and/or falling forward when you snap, you’re not only losing power on the snap, you will have a tough time transitioning into blocking post snap.

@a.miller.22 is a highly talented #JUCO #longsnapper who has the ability to snap and block at the next level. Excited to see him develop throughout the season. taken in Poinsettia Park by @drewferrislongsnapping

MYTH BUSTED‼️‼️‼️

What do you guys think? Should you drag the ball on the ground? Should you be a look or no look snapper?

This past weekend @jdcarrasco07 of @idahostatefb and @21_kmorty of @suufb faced off against each other this past weekend.

Both #JUCO products worked extremely hard to become starters on their respective teams.

Preston is an in person client here in San Diego and Koy is a #virtual client. Their pursuits led them to colliding on the gridiron this past weekend.

I couldn’t be more proud of both these guys chasing their dreams and being first class citizens on and off the field.
