This is just a curiosity thing, but is it typical for the snapper on field goals to be as small as ours is. Voosen has certainly done a good job and I am in no way making negative comments about him. I am just curious as to whether or not a 205 pound snapper is common.

In this case size does not matter. Speed and accuracy are. I believe there is a rule in place that forbids direct hit on him while his head is down and it only takes a very brief block. I do not see it as a factor in any way. Best is best regardless of size.

Ok. You can all choose each individual TWSS imbedded in my statement.

The coaches have said he is dead on with his accuracy......he is a real talent but will get have to get bigger.

Sam Bennett did the deep snapping and he couldn't even bench press 180 lbs so 205 lbs shouldn't matter.

umm......just wondering.... isn't this really a LONG snapper question? or, am I missing something?

i'm pretty sure he's contrasting this with the snapper used for punts (as opposed to FG's and XP's). It's not always the same guy.

oh...okay. thanks.

Did somebody say short snapper?

Your LS is a bit small. The point afters are handled by your center I think. You do have 2 walk on snappers , one is listed at 6'4 and 235 lbs the other is also over 6' and around 200 lb. Current snapper looks a bit slow and has had a few off snaps but has good speed down the field. Should be able to get the ball to the punter under .8 sec. Not to worry, you guys look like your OK . Did McKnight not snap in the NFL? SMU is turning into quite a fun team to follow

The last long snapper that JJ had in Hawaii was drafted by the Patriots and has started every game in the NFL since he left Hawaii. He entered UH as a walk-on DE, but JJ told him that his future was to be a long snapper and things sure worked out for Jake Ingram.

Jake is a great example of what a qualified staff can do for a kid. Securing the deep snapper will not be a problem for this team. Just a little beefing up is all it could take.
