Player Review

Liked what I saw out of Kozachenko at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXVIII Event on January 21-22, 2016. He is built solid and has one of the best attitudes I have seen on a Long Snapper. Will be a locker room leader in college. Coaches will love him. Ball is quick and his form is solid. Moves well on his feet and has great accuracy. The more he trusts his great form and just lets the ball fly, the better he will be in the long run. Exploding will be key. Great kid.

James did really well at the Rubio Long Snapping spring camp in WA on April 24, 2016. He is built solid and he can fly down field. Hovers in the mid .7s with his very quick hands. Love to see him keep putting on size and making sure he locks down his spiral. EXCELLENT attitude and he is going to easily make a college coach happy over the next four years. Love his improvement.

Kozachenko is coming along really nicely and showed me some great things at the Rubio Long Snapping spring camp in CA on March 6, 2016. He is snapping with A LOT of confidence and I love it. Using his whole body well and can easily hover in the mid .7s. His hands are very quick. Blocking and completely locking down his spiral with move him farther up. He is hitting his stride at the right time and will do well in college.

Kozachenko did really well at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXVII Event on January 17-18, 2016. He is VERY athletic and is an absolute force on punt coverage. Love the way he moves. Form is very good and the harder he snaps the ball, the better he will be. Gaining some size will be huge as we move to the next level but this kid can definitely snap at the next level. VERY fluid snapper with massive upside. He is definitely going to make a college coach happy over the next four years.

Really liked what I saw out of James at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in TX. Kid has some VERY good power and can really whip the ball back to the punter. Needs to make sure he is not over-thinking the process. Like to see him get on the ball, get set and let it rip. Waiting over it for too long means he is thinking and no one wants that on the football field. Great power from his legs and he can get it into the .6s at times. CONSISTENCY will be huge for him. No bad snaps. Kid has VERY good potential. I like what I see out of him.

Very good snapper who I had never seen before until WA. Needs a bit of size in the near year, but form was as solid as anyone else at the camp. Snapped accurate and fast balls. Was very pleased with what we saw from him. Does a very good job of exploding with his lower half. Needs to focus on making sure his spiral is locked down.
