With the Owls’ season-opener being less than three months away, the UP will evaluate each position group on the roster. Today, we will look at the long snappers.

Long snappers are responsible for snapping the football from long distances. They are involved in punts, field goals, and extra point conversions.

Redshirt sophomore Nicholas Marino leads the way in the starting rotation at the position. Last season, Marino took care of every snap for the team as Conference USA gave him an honorable mention for his efficiency.
