Long-snappers

[rtn32488]

I have to say long snapping is probably one of the hardest positions on the field. I long snap for MUS, and i think it is more difficult than actually playing offensive line.

Hey Jacket, their talking about AC's snapper from last year. This is an old thread.

Actually, Houston County has two player than run a sub 4.0 forty.  One is #28 Justin Harris, a 5-10 200 lb. senior who starts both ways for the Irish at WR & DB.  The other is #44 Tray Mitchell, a 5-10 145 lb. senior who aslo starts both ways at SE & SS.

SUB 4.0 40! these guys should have ran in the olympics last month. With those times they would have won everything. 3.8 40 translates into a 9.5 (give or take) 100

But even these guys didn't have the balance, focus, determination, and elbows of the famed Mr. Rankenship. Rumors are flying around about this kid. Last I heard, he turned down offers from USC and LSU. He said he was going to go try to start his own DIII team or some nonsense like that. Wonder how that worked out for him. I know this thread will probably turn to current longsnappers with less talent than Rankenship, but he will never be forgotten by those of us who saw him in action. Anyone with info on this legend, please let us know, either on here or on the "Where are they now?" boards. Thanks. The longsnapping community of high school football is missing it's greatest member ever. Godspeed, Rankenship.

The snapper from Henry co. is very consistant and has worked with a retired pro snapper and his cousin is now a freshman at memphis that will probably be snapping in the next few years down there.

I will also say that longsnapping is one of the most difficult positions to master. I am the longsnapper for Greenbrier and have been doing it since i was 10 years old in Jr. Pro. Hopefully me being 6'3'' 220 lbs. running a 4.9 40 can walk on or be recruited by someone that needs a longsnapper. I know you can recieve full rides to major colleges just for longsnapping.

Longsnapping is a dying artform. A lot of coaches don't teach kids to snap with both hands they teach them to use one hand chuck it back there and hope for the best. ugh it drives me nuts

How could you give or take 100 from 9.5?

Matt Torrence has been a consistent long snapper for Karns High football team for his whole 4 year career. He has never cracked under pressure. Only 1 to 2 bad snaps is pretty good over a 4 year period. Although yet, not being looked at heavily he has a chance to go D-I just to long snap.#44

Knock on wood! Greg Poteete of Henry County has not had a bad snap in the two years he has been snapping for them.

I think Wilson Central's long snapper Shane Scott is the best I've seen at the high school level.
