Player Review
OFFER NOW!!!Johnstone was tremendous at the Rubio Long Snapping Spring Camp in GA on April 28, 2019. He has a massive frame and looks like a college Long Snapper right now. Easily passes an eyeball test from a college coach. Form is great. He snaps a smooth ball that is catchable for any punter. Johnstone has all of the tools to be snapping a ball for a long, long time. I absolutely love when Johnstone really drives his eyes, head and chest through. When he does that, he snaps one of the smoothest and most consistent balls in the country.
Christian was very solid at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in GA on December 2, 2018. I absolutely love his overall frame and upside. He looks and snaps like a college Long Snapper right now and Christian still has seven months of high school left. Following through, snapping hard and driving his chest though (as hard as he can) puts Christian as, easily, one of the top Long Snappers in his class. Type of body and snapping motion that shows me he can be doing this for a long, long time if he works the right way over the next couple of years.
Johnstone had a great summer in the south and at the TOP 12 Camp in CA. Love his frame as he can pass for a college athlete right now and he still has a year left of high school. Smooth and powerful Long Snapper that can easily hit sub .75 when he lets his upper body really drive through to the punter. Johnstone has one of the cleanest snaps you will ever see and it just pops into the punter's hands. Due to his frame and the overall smoothness of his snaps, Christian has quite possibly the highest potential of anyone in his class.
Johnstone was impressive at VEGAS XXXII in May. Big man that has great power throughout his whole body. Form is good and he is ready for the next level right now. Been with Rubio Long Snapping for a long time and it is very obvious when you see him snap the ball. Great smoothness and very little, if any, wasted movement. The more he drives his upper body through to the punter, the better he snaps with more accuracy and more speed on his ball. I absoluely love when Johnstone rips his eyes through as his ball will be in the .6s and it will crush the punter. Upside is off the charts for Johnstone and he has the type of body to do this for a long time.
Johnstone had a great weekend at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXI Event on January 12-14, 2018. Excellent frame and he is one of the smoothest Long Snappers in his class. His snaps are beyond catchable as they are on target and consistently in the Rubio Zone. Ball is smooth. Really want to see Christian focus on driving his upper body through to get his head/eyes through to gain more speed. on the ball. Right now, he hovers in the mid to high .7s and I know, for a fact, he can easily be sub .70. The potential for Christian is off the charts and he could be snapping the ball for a long, long time.
