    Player Review
    Max was solid at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXI Event on January 12-14, 2018. Love his overall attitude and how consistent Max is with his snapping motion. Over and over, each snap is the exact same. It is like watching a robot snap the ball. Like to see Max focus on lowering his release point a bit to increase his overall accuracy. Simply moving his hands/fingers down at release will lower his ball and get his snaps right in the Rubio Zone at all times. RSI is already pretty solid and this will just help out a bit. Also, increasing his athleticism will push him up the ladder and make him more valuable to college coaches. He is going to find the right fit in college and the coaches are going to love him. 

    Max did really well at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in CA on October 29, 2017. He moves well on his feet and his body is thickening up nicely. Form is good and he can snap the ball, easily, under .80. Like to see Max focus on his overall accuracy and consistency. To really make a good move up the rankings, I want to see Max absolutely never have a snap out of the Rubio Zone. Max is good and has the tools to be great. Confidence and knowing how great he can be will be the key.
