Kid must be pretty good to have as much info available as a longsnapper...

Rubio Long Snapper Trey Lamastus commits to the University of Alabama at Birmingham! http://bit.ly/QSPtUT #TeamRubio #UAB #LongSnapper

Lamastus has come so far with his Long Snapping that it is almost shocking. He is absolutely dripping with confidence out on the field. Snaps a nice tight spiral and he is very accurate. When he misses the holes in The Target, which is rare, he is usually no more than a couple inches off. He is like a machine. Only advice is to continue to fine tune his consistency so every snap is the same speed and none go low. Snapping hard with the same form will enable his consistency to shine. Lamastus just keeps improving and improving and improving....Major drive on this Long Snapper.

"This kid just rips the ball. Plain and simple. Just needed a bit of confidence and now it is just amazing. Came out to Vegas with a chip on his shoulder to prove he belonged in the EVENT ELITE and he did not disappoint me AT ALL. Very quick hands that get the ball going back right off the bat. No wasted movement at all. Needs to focus on making sure each and every snap, motion as well, is EXACTLY the same. Can get a bit wild at times and that has the ability to play with his accuracy and consistency. His work ethic and demeanor make him a great one to have on your team." -Chris Rubio

Sweet. We are losing a good one so this is a good pick up. It's one of those positions that is crucial and make or break you.

Very key and under appreciated position. Welcome aboard Trey!

I work with Densmore's dad, so I am not sure where he is in the mix.

For personal reasons, it would be good for him to earn the spot.

He also is a Jordan grad, the school where all my daughter's will end up going.

Ha. I was a long snapper back in the day and the only time my snaps were noticed by the fans or talked about by our coaches was when I screwed up a snap.....

To my knowledge, Densmore would be the only returning snapper, so yes we need some more of them.

Is Densmore still on the team? I didnt see him dressed any this year.

I thought so.

He didn't get in any games.

Just noticed he wasn't on the roster though.

I guess I will have to ask his father.

He was thinking about leaving the team & then McGee was hired.

I think he decided to stay on once McGee was hired.
