Player Review
Pipes did really well during the 2018 Rubio Long Snapping Summer Tour. Extremely athletic Long Snapper that moves very well on his feet. One of the smoothest Long Snappers in his class. His form is excellent and he does a great job of getting his upper body all the way through to his punter. Accuracy is solid as you can see with RSI's continuously in the double digits. If Pipes can really drive his head/eyes through, he will increase his overall accuracy even more and the whipping of his head will push up his speed. Kid is good and bordering on great. Legs are almost perfectly timed up for greatness. I like his attitude.
Pipes had a great day at the Rubio Long Snapping Spring Camp in IL on April 7th, 2018. Kid was impress from start to finish with snap speeds under .80 and great athleticism. Balance is good and he is very close to using his whole body perfectly throughout his snapping motion. If Pipes can lock down his timing (legs locked right when the ball at his shins) he will easily get the ball sub .75 at VEGAS XXXII in May. Locking down his release point will increase Pipe’s accuracy and push his RSI up at future camps. Pipes i very good and on the path to greatness. big jump in the rankings and well deserved. TOP 12????
Pipes showed me some good things at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXI Event on January 12-14, 2018. First off, his upside is off the charts and he reaches back very well. Like to see Pipes speed up his lower half to match his upper half. He is very close to locking his massive legs and when he does lock his legs, he will be able to put a whole through the punter. Athletic on his feet and he is built to crush the returner. Slow motion drills will really help to get his whole body invovled. Keep a very close eye on Pipes this spring and at VEGAS XXXII in May.
