LongSnap Technique Coach, Georgetown U 09-12 LS;NFL Combines 13,14;Chicago Bears Mini Camp 14; Data driven, snapping clinics. Christian, Husband, Father
“Coach, i’ve only been to camps with 40-100 snappers at it. what does a development camp look like???”
Individual instruction. from a snapper who can still snap. What does it say about the technique of the coach when injury or wear and tear make it where they can’t rep anymore
Thankful for 35yrs! So Blessed with a healthy son, amazing wife and family/friends. Got a few reps in for the bday this past camp. i don’t time or measure new snappers. we build foundation 1st. but when you are competing for college spots knowing where you stand is vital 38mph🔥
It was so much fun watching guys hit their A+ rep, hearing the time and then rehittin it a few reps later. Talk about building muscle memory!! A very wide range of age and snapping levels : college guys are all d1 and hs seniors all offered d1, &underclassmen with bright future
Keep snapping Simple! I’ve been teaching sustainable motions and helping snappers develop college needed attributes since 2013!! The space has changed so much, as has the caliber of needed technique. This young snapper will be an absolute stud of a recruit coming soon! smallgroup
6’4 230 Venice athlete snapper @Hudson_Traeger throwing some 🔥 in a windy day at my Florida Training. He is D1 ready and his technique is a perfect example of keeping your knees out of hyperextension range. No leg lock early and focus longevity of joints! Hit him up coaches.
He’s a little snap shot of what my camps look like! This 2027 sophomore will be on a lot of d1 recruiting boards his junior/senior season. Super coachable and building consistency after this last year of training. Also plays LB.
Few years back!! here’s a .95. no human error, no favoritism. just lasers measuring hundredths of a sec
PUMPED for tomorrows dev camp in Nashville!!!! Lasers bring transparency but shrink big orgs hundreds of thousands of revenue. soooooo snappers you want real numbers yet??
I’m hearing a bit of chatter that my events are known as the place with the “slow snap times”. I want to push back on that and say my training is the only place with REAL snap times. How many hand time 40s are 4.3 when in reality it’s a 4.55. No favoritism or human error w lasers
Can undersized (Under 5’10 200lbs) long snappers make power four football ?! OF COURSE! especially if they are a polished snappers and above average athletes. It’s few and far in between. That being said,
I want training organizations to not sell the anomaly as the average.
Had a great time watching two Sec snappers compete against each other. They both have trained consistently with me since their 9th grade years and it was awesome seeing their success chasing their dreams. Also the recruit to vandy vs ole miss was a #montgomerylongsnapping guy.
So thankful i’m no longer alone shouting this into the abyss. technology brings transparency, no need to have as many guys in “no man’s land” in recruiting after being told they snap a .65 for multiple years. Laser time and tracked development!!!
As I begin to work with more long snappers, I will be incorporating the @DashrMPS laser for accurate timing and charting.
Many snappers are discouraged by laser times. I get it, but it will be a tool to track data and eliminate human error. Even playing field for all.
This is how it’s supposed to look #longsnapper Also, laser snap times are the future. Humans aren’t accurate in measuring time, especially in the hundredths of seconds. Come get your snap time verified and have some fun at my group training. Check the insta craigmontgomeryls
IDK how this stud @AschbrennerSam doesn’t have a d1 offer yet! dude is an asset in coverage. he only attended a few big brand exposure events, he won 1/100+ snappers at it. rather than being lost in the # he spent his time refining in training w me.hit him up d1! Stampofapproval
another studly group of college snappers balled out at the lodge yesterday. @SpencerRadnoti@rileysmith_LS@JackBaade@JEndres93 thankful for getting to pour into this next generation of snappers. will post charts on website/youtube this week
teaching a 2023 stud how to control his laces. Charlotte this weekend. working on kentucky, kansas, virginia, birmingham and missouri coming up this summer! come see your real snap times and get better with sustainable snapping technique.
#longsnapper Not all coaches have the resume or ability to teach this specialized position. Nothing worse than when I get a new client who leg locks, has a horrible hitch or rather hear how good they are than actually get development. Make your coach show ya what he can do.
If you keep ending up mid of the pack at the mega exposure camps, why not try developing with a coach for a while before you break out the big checkbook! Or find out who the finalist snappers train with....
Tons of snappers believe they are going to be scholarship guys! hence why the parents pour in thousands and tens of thousands of dollars chasing the dream! 1 million hs football players. about 850 college football teams across divisions.if you are one of hundreds or dozens.. uhoh
D1 full ride for a reason!!! proud coach… notice how he is performing more football movements beyond just being a snapping accurate recruit. be more snappers! prep game situations not just target accuracy.
I prioritize building college long snappers. not target guys or over specialized finesse pretenders. Long snappers have to be a hybrid of a finesse athlete and a power athlete. goal is staying healthy throughout a season of blocking and running down field. priority varsity tape.
Excited for the college development camp starting tonight until Sunday afternoon!
There are LS athletes joining from the following conferences:
SEC, American, BIG 12, Sunbelt, Conference USA, Big South
0 transfer portal snappers attending. all 10 guys are active roster….
Another successful college camp!! adding all the videos and charts this coming week. forgot to take the picture with all the high school guys… my bad gentlemen. Thank you all for choosing a different style of training! no edits. no smoke being blown. iron sharpening iron!!
This Stud had himself a great day!! Got a ton better and posted the fastest time I’ve seen in over a year .92!!! @ragantomlin is a 2022 with over a 4.0 that college coaches need to know about. #montgomerylongsnappingacademy#lasersnaptimes
we need to bring back committin to great offers that are correct fits like this stud just did! it’s not about stacking offers or earning a dif colored shirt than your peers. it’s about finding the right home (for college coach and specialist) then locking in. proud of you Joel!
Do you throw a faster ball than this #D1 College Stud #Longsnapper ? @westberry15 Probably not, these reps were laser timed at .97. His fastest was a .89. College coaches are realizing lasers are the future!!! No favoritism and no human error. Retweet your coach for their input!
Unpopular truth
conferences have needed ✅s
SEC example…
is the LS heavy enough for blocking the A gap during a FG attempt? How about Punt?
Is the LS athletic enough to stay healthy when covering on punt?
If no to any off the above.
it doesn’t matter how well he snaps.
Second rep was low. The most important rep after a subpar one is the following rep. Fix what went wrong and move on. Cant change it so think through what went wrong, how to fix and then flush it. get back to chasing perfect
education and debt free. some specialist training orgs are making generational wealth through pushin kids into generational debt. Low camper/coach ratios FOCUSED ON DEVELOPMENT not filling a # of camp slots and pushin the kids into the “biggest program” for marketing. do the math
pumped for the next two weekends of camps! The top two 2026s LS imo battling it out of tomorrow (athletes with size) &
8/10 rooms filled for the college camp! as i see .62 stopwatch snap times i reiterate my operation is built around sustainable movement and trackable real times
Anyone looking for a swiss army knife that’s adding snapping to their resume?? Super coach able. good grades 6’4 220 and can move @JackMacKinnon8#montgomerylongsnapping first day snapping too…. only going to get better
most of my Snappers have been developing at my trainings for yrs. When u are building muscle memory and accuracy, understand you must build foundation & you can’t cut corners.
exposure camps are for when you are ready to show ur abilities. don’t go to early & get exposed.
many of the oldest guys on NFL rosters are LS. there is value in our sustainable technique!
so many entities training snappers don’t/can’t demonstrate technique. The space needs to be less about who you know/how much you’ve paid and more about LS abilities and REAL measurables.
College chart “strike snaps” aren’t chin to shin. they ARE top of hips to belly button. College snaps requires development, ego trimming/focus on solid feedback. It doesn’t make sense having easy charting and 200 4 ⭐️ LS all confused on why they aren’t being recruited. It’s fake
Don’t know how this guy doesn’t have a D1 pwo offer somewhere yet. Extremely coachable/constantly improving. first video was Saturday, 31/32 mph🔥 ball in chart. 2nd video was May camp, where he snapped 28/29mph. technique is sustainable, good size/cover ability. Keep working!!!
another great two day camp at the lodge.
2 active D1. 1 active d2, 1 d1aa recruit about to report, 1 d1 junior with scholly offers and 5 hs guys up next still grinding and doing data based sustainable snapping technique training! next camp is aug 2nd-3rd
Control the controllables. Consistency in training is one of the most controllable things you have. Keep showing up and working hard, and realize that urgency and hard work is needed if the goal is College Football!
Look at my dude @julian13ashby throw a pearl snap and get down field and cover. proud of this baller!! Junior snapper is going to be sought after heavily next year.... I got a bunch of studs training weekly/monthly preparing to be the next group of D1 starters #montgomerylongsnap
If u haven’t been to one of my training session I challenge u to attend one
Not many LS coaches still snap, or ever snapped
MLSA = Small group sessions, hands on tech and LOTS of College STARTERS...
Here’s a video of a 2024 that will be P5 in a few years
#notafactory
Invites headed out this week. A dozen D1 snappers will be spending two days/two nights at the lodge. Focusing on development for success on the field at the d1 level. Laser snap times will distinguish who is actually throwing heat. 600$ total for food/room/training. #noleglock
a bunch of trainings coming up! i don’t brag about having a snapper on 95% of college teams…. i brag about placing 95% of my snappers onto college rosters. it’s different. different model. different value add. but come see what’s up. especially if you are questioning handtimes
Go learn from legit coaches who practice what they preach. No 1000$ for two sessions or 240 snappers at 550$ mega camp, especially when the coach cant/won’t/doesn’t? even snap! learn from this Godly man with his priorities and focus in pouring into the next generation!!

Another big time recruit!! he joined my college camp as one of the invited hs guys. definitely put a fire under em showin his speed early!! he will be another sub1.0 guy once that spiral tightens!
That five yard marker is key! Get into protection by this point FA LS.
loved picking this NFL journeyman’s brain. The dudes he works with gain so much insight and experience. Thankful and happy to see more small group training by guys demonstrating sustainable movements!!
Long snappers,
Real time -> Slow motion clips.
12 yard drill work: my goal in the drill is to gain my depth, fast hands, eyes, feet & be engaged into the rusher at or before snap arrives to punter. A great metric to see how efficiently/quick you can get into blocking transition
Hs LS, Where are you located in this venn diagram? if you throw a hand time “.65” is it a real measurement?? so many guys check many of the boxes but don’t understand what is needed and big brands want full camps not TRANSPARENCY. Technology is ready. lasers to measure snap speed
@dufault24 throwing heat before the showcase event!! Laser had him at .92, and laser doesn’t rely on a human input…. aka it’s accurate in the hundredths of seconds!!! Speed champ throws heat! but nobody throws sub .7
My scoring system isn’t strike or ball. We pull laser times and score individual reps based on accuracy. Spiral is looked at in scoring as are laces on field goals . My camps are always filled with top d1 active players and many guys are on scholarship. I practice what I preach
Here’s some consecutive snaps from today. Ready for @TheChrisRubio Charlotte camp next weekend. Thanks @JordanGay94 for opening up the gym this rainy morning.
I have low numbers at my camp because only a handful of guys truly make it to college football as producers. I spend time scouting and evaluating talent and i reach out to snappers that i believe i can help make it to college. D1 guys get 💼s now especially if you truly develop.
snap looks good but after the snap is 0 football movement. the basketball player doesn’t get recruited off his foul shot. rather his full ability. LS have to be able to block and cover. rather than rolling film. show more football movement rather than skill shot competition
fastest i’ve seen is a .83 by a three time nfl great. lasers are the future and also paint a clear picure of where the snapper actually sits. snapping a dime is just a piece of the recruiting process. decision makers at colleges need to be impressed by the full snap, cover, block
As a Mooney and Georgetown Grad, I always tell my long snappers how important a good gpa is. Keep working hard on and off the field but most importantly, in the classroom!
Thank you to @Coach_McCorkle from @DartFootball and @Coach_Fab from @ColumbiaLionsFB for stopping by today, from 2 of the best academic schools in the world. Their first question emphasized the biggest issue for student/athletes: How are their grades? #DOBOTH#IMPROVE
Hey P5 coaches…. This D1 offered LB could be your development future all conference snapper…. nose for a football, athletic length. trained Montgomery longsnapper all four years of hs
football is a contact sport. at the highest levels, contact often happens when the ball is at this point in the snap! I pride myself on the focus of longevity through kinesiology. I pay most attention to protection of joints. AVOID HYPER-FLEXION. Why risk hyperextension.
Feb 9th, Super bowl Sunday we are changing the space forever! Tennessee Long snappers, I hope you can make it.
The data will connect to all future camps across the southeast. If you are one of the hundreds of 4 star snappers wondering what’s up with your .65 snap time, come see
Found some old marketing. Automated this process and still stacking comparative data. Added lasers at big events to get rid of all the bias in final comps. Background in Psych, kinesiology and a student of snapping mechanics. bookwhen.com/montgomerylongs…#noleglock
Senior DE Eli Renick Had Himself a Impressive Senior Season Leading the Rams in Sacks!! To Go Along With 10 Tackles For Loss Proved To Be One of The Best DEs in The Area!!! 🐏 #TheView
been grinding for almost four years! it’s extra fun when the big, coachable athlete is also the hardest worker in the room!! keep crushing it. ain’t there yet but bright future!!
Excited to watch the space evolve in a way that brings transparency and development to the front!!
lots of coaches developing players only to lose them in the exposure stage. exposure is nice but even when your the top kid in hs, you still need continued DEVELOPMENT.
We ❤️ the 105-player roster limit! With this change, teams will cut 40% of their specialists on average.
No more hiding behind ⭐️s off sticks —training, academics, & game film are the solution.
as a long snapper this is especially true.
blowing up a punt returner and forcing a fumble or pinning a ball on the 1 is the type of play that will get them to watch the full hudl and find out who you are.
