TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – It’s not a glamorous position, but every team has a long snapper and they all play a vital role on special teams. Indiana State, however, has potentially the best long snapper in the nation this season in senior Joshua Appel.
Appel – a finance major from Normal, Ill. – has quietly been a key factor for the Sycamores since his freshman season in 2013, which is a good thing. Most of the time, if fans know their long snappers’ name it means he isn’t doing too well.
That hasn’t been the case for the superb Appel, who has earned two different Preseason All-America honors this year in addition to being named a First-Team All-American last fall after a perfect season in 2015.
