Snap Chat

Serving as the long snapper for a football team is often the most overlooked position in football. Blink once and you probably missed them. No matter what, these athletes are some of the most important players on special teams, as they are responsible for snapping the ball at high speeds in order to allow their kickers or punters to get a kick off. Too slow and the opposing team has a good chance of blocking or disrupting the kick.

Despite playing from the background, seniors Corey Lerch and Joshua Lang have fun and enjoy their roles on the team as the first- and second-string deep snappers, respectively.
