Best long snapper in the country? Why Rutgers' Billy Taylor is suddenly earning national recognition

Rutgers has already produced two players -- Andrew DePaola and Clark Harris -- who are starring in their long-snapping roles in the NFL.

It's possible that the Scarlet Knights could have one of the nation's best long snappers handling the job this fall.

Billy Taylor, who handling both the short- and long-snapping duties for Rutgers as a true freshman last fall, was recently placed on the David Binn Trophy watch list.

The 6-1, 221-pounder out of Parsippany Hills is one of 48 players recognized for the award that honors college football's best long snapper.
