Arkansas deep snapper Silver OK with being unknown

FAYETTEVILLE — Among fans, the long snapper might be the least-known player on a college football roster.

They prefer it that way.

After all, it seems the only time their name is called is when something goes wrong. Deliver the ball on target, on time 100 straight times and no one seems to notice, but sail a ball over the head of the punter once and the clamoring for the backup begins.

So it’s likely you don’t know Jordan Silver, or at least much about him. For two seasons Silver has been a model of consistency at his position, routinely putting the ball on the spot for Arkansas’ holders and punters.
