Player Review
OFFER NOW!Battles was a machine at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXI Event on January 12-14, 2018. Body is looking very good with a solid muscular frame and he is very quick on his feet. Snapping and releasing is not an issue at all for Battles. Ball is a rocket back to the punter with times in the high .6s and low .7s and extremely accurate at all times. Really impressive how consistent Battles is at all times. Leaning back a bit more will increase his accuracy even more which is almost unfair to other Long Snappers. The Oregon Ducks got a great Long Snapper in Battles.
Battles had a great day at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in TX on November 12, 2017. He looks to have tightened up his body and he is moving well on his feet. Looks lean but still very strong and powerful. As always, Battles is a machine with his accuracy and speed. He came one snap away from winning the speed competition and missed by literally inches during the accuracy competition. He is ready right now for college and he is sure fire scholarship Long Snapper.
Battles was dominant at the Rubio Long Snapping TOP 12 Camp in Tampa, FL. Big, strong Long Snapper with a solid D1 body right now. Moves well on his feet and is, easily, one of the most accurate Long Snappers in the country. When he is on, Battles simply doesn't miss. Please Note: Battles is almost always on. Locking down his spiral and knowing just how good he is, will make Battles move to the top of the class. Upside is off the charts and any school would be lucky to have him on their roster.
