Player Review

I really liked what I saw out of Kyle at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXIX Event on January 14-15, 2017. Body is solid and he is very accurate and consistent with his snaps. Every ball is the same and he is like a machine. Over the next couple of years at ARMY, he will dominate when he starts to focus on getting fully set and making sure he increases his athleticism. Quiet Long Snapper that is just money over and over again. Hands are like rockets.

Kyle did well at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in PA on October 9th, 2016. He has arguably the quickest hands in the country. It is seriously hard to time Kyle at 15 yards. Love to see him adjust his tempo a bit so he doesn't always just the snap ball right when he gets his hands set. If he can change it up a bit, he will throw off the defensive players a bit and not allow them to predict his snap. Also, his form is EXCELLENT and he needs to TRUST it by just letting the ball fly out of his hands. FULL POWER will push him into the low .6s and completely ready for college. Quiet and dominant is how I expect him to be at VEGAS XXIX.

Kyle was pretty darn impressive at the TOP 12 & EVENT ELITE Camp at the IMG Academy in FL. He has a good frame and snaps a smooth ball. Doesn't say much but doesn't need to as he lets his snapping talk for him. Hands are like rockets and they are so quick, it is almost hard to time him. Love to see him focus on getting a bit more set before he releases the ball. This will really help his spiral and accuracy. Sitting on the ball for about a second or more will help immensely. This kid is very close to being great.

Kyle did a great job at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXVIII Event on May 21-22, 2016. He has a good frame and is one of the smoothest Long Snappers in the country. If he can learn to fully get set and keep his hands on the ball for more than a second, he will drastically increase his speed, accuracy and consistency on his snaps. VERY simple fix and it will pan out for greatness in the long run. Hands are like rockets and the ball jumps out of the gate. It is almost hard to time him his hands are so fast. Increasing his athleticism will push him way up the rankings a ton.

Accomplishments

VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .75
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.65
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 50.68

All Long Snappers were tested on The Rubio Target. Each Long Snapper was tested on 12 punt snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set) and 12 pat snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set). Once the Long Snapper has completed the test, they earn an RSI which is the fairest and most accurate way to judge a Long Snapper by numbers. Please note: the RSI does not account for athleticism, spiral or mentality.

RSI (Rubio Standard Index): The RSI is the score divided by the average speed on The Rubio Target. You may obtain 2 bonus points for an average of .75-.79, 2 more bonus points for an average of .70-.74 and an additional 2 more bonus points if you average below .70.
