Per Bill Greene, was called and offered by tOSU strictly as a long snapper, visiting on Dec 17th. Doesn't know much about tOSU, besides they are one of top teams every year.

Bryce is a very, very long athlete that is built for long snapping. Has a ton of potential and got better throughout the day. Love that. Has the ability to snap in the .7s. Needs to work on heightening his form a bit and gaining some lbs. Snapping could be huge for him if he works on it. 12-09

Bryce is an extremely long athlete that has improved immensely over the past year. Jumped from 46 all the way to 12. He could be in top 5 shortly. Ball is very fast, smooth and accurate. Form is exceptional and his balance is superb. Blocking and more weight will be the key to him advancing up the charts and taking his snapping to the next level. 5-10

Bryce has proven to me he is the best long snapper in the country right now. Extremely long and athletic. Ball absolutely flies into your hands. TIGHT spiral and he can block. Also very athletic. The kid has it all. Easily can put on thirty pounds. The kid is legit. No doubt.

certainly has the test scores to follow in the brains that tress likes at the position, one has to wonder looking at the kid if he has a frame to be 240-265 though. certainly has velocity on his ball. i guess scholie ls prove that the point is the most important play in football...

McQuaide is 234.
Norman was 6' 230.

He looks like he should be able to get to 220ish if not more.

I'm 6'0" even and I was 140-145 in high school when I was 5'10". When I was lifting regularly on my own I got up to 220 and have been as heavy as 231 with a small gut. This kid is four inches taller and with our S&C program I'd bet he could eventually reach 230-240 with it all being good weight.

Rubio Long Snapper Bryce Haynes Article

TOUTED SNAPPER OFFERED

Arkansas long-snapper Rhett Richardson will exhaust his eligibiity after the season, so last week the Hogs offered a scholarship to Bryce Haynes of Cumming (Ga.) Pinecrest Academy.

Haynes, 6-4, 185 pounds, also has offers from North Carolina and Utah State. He's been in communication with Arkansas assistant John L. Smith and graduate assistant Marty Biagi.

"I was really, really excited," Haynes said. "I was kind of surprised because I didn't go to a camp at Arkansas this summer. I went to a lot of camps trying to get looked at over the summer."

Haynes is rated as the No. 1 snapper in the nation by Chris Rubio of Rubio Long Snapping.

Rubio judges snappers by how quickly they snap the ball back to the punter. Rubio said anything below .80 seconds is considered good. He said Haynes' snaps are in the .60 range.

"That ball is coming in at over 45 miles per hour," Rubio said. "I've worked with hundreds of kids over the past nine years, and he's probably within the top five of high school kids I've ever worked with."

Wow, whenever I see something like this, I fall back to, in Tress we trust. If the staff thinks this offer helps, and a commit will help take tOSU to a higher level, who am I to question. I have never paid too much attention to long snapping, you only notice when there is a problem, this kid's form does look like a thing of beauty, and the ball scoots back there, he also has a nice offer list, so... besides at 185, the kid is already bigger than half of scUM's squad, and he's not vertically challenged.

Physical size is not as important for snappers at the NCAA level. They are not immune from protection responsibilities, but have some protection by NCAA rule forbidding any defender from contact for a period of one second after the ball is snapped.

Rule 9-1-2-o states: When a team is in scrimmage kick formation, a defensive player may not initiate contact with the snapper until one second has elapsed after the snap. The snapper has one second to snap the ball and then position himself to block, protect himself or to release down field. Other players who have special protection from being roughed are the Holder, Kicker and passer.

There was some conversation about this in a game day thread when tOSU had a FG blocked and the rush came through the center position.
Re. the listed weight of Mr. Haynes, in my humble IMO is not irrelevant but not as high a priority as the 45 mph accurate rocket launch he is capable of consistently producing.

Interesting offer with the number of scholarships available and recruits OSU is still chasing.

Does anyone know the last time we offered and recruited a long snapper, instead of going the walkon to scholarship route?
