Player Review

Rhodes had a great weekend at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXIII Event on January 19-20, 2019. He has an excellent frame and is built well. Strong bodied Long Snapper with good balance. He is using his whole body well. Lowering his butt to get his back to parallel to the ground will allow Rhodes to use his powerful legs to get his speeds into the .6s at 15 yards! Really good Long Snapper that snaps a smooth ball that pops into the punter's hands. Love how well the ball jumps out of his hands. You can see the ball speeding up along the way. Rhodes can easily snap in college. Always improving.

Rhodes had a very good day at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in CA on October 28, 2018. Body is thick and strong with good power throughout. Snaps are smooth and easily catchable. Rhodes uses his lower half pretty darn well and gets some good pop on the ball. Like to see him focus on getting his butt down a bit more so his back is parallel to the ground. This will allow him to use more of his strong legs to get his ball speed to .75 on a consistent basis. Locking down his spiral will help with speed as it will allow the ball to slice through the wind. Excellent attitude and great potential. Keep a very close eye on this kid at VEGAS XXXIII in January.

Rhodes did well at VEGAS XXXIII. Big and strong Long Snapper that has the ability to move pretty darn well on his feet from side to side. Like to see Rhodes increase the straight line running speed. Upside on Rhodes is very good. The less thinking he does and the harder Rhodes snaps the ball, the better he does with his snapping. Like to also see him focus on being quicker out of the gate with his overall snapping motion. Getting the timing down with his elbows and knees will greatly increase his overall speed. Easily, and I mean easily, could be snapping in the .6s with no problem. Rhodes is very good and easily could do this at the next level.
