    Ben Wheless had a great day at the Rubio Long Snapping Spring Camp in NC on March 7, 2020. He was so solid that he ended up winning the whole thing with great and accurate snaps. His ball is powerful and super consistent with times in the mid .7s. Wheless was in between .72-.75 all day long. Getting fully set will fine-tune him to completely lock down his accuracy and have him dominate at VEGAS XXXVI in May. Great day for Wheless and he just keeps on getting better!


    Wheless did really well at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in NC on October 6th, 2019. He has great form and a very powerful ball. Easily maintained speeds in the mid to high .7s all day long for a 15 yard punt snap. Wheless does an excellent job of using his whole body and snapping with a smooth snapping motion. He makes it look effortless. Always improving and locking down his accuracy at VEGAS XXXV in January could get him a TOP 12 Camp spot!


    Ben had another great day of snapping at the Rubio Long Snapping Regional camp in GA on April 28, 2019. An extremely compact and powerful snapper who gets everything out of his body. He was firing the balls back all day, hitting mid to low .7s! He doesn't compromise accuracy for this speed as his form is very solid as well. Continued display of this consistency for both speed and accuracy will be huge for him, and separating himself from others in things like the agility drill will have even more of a positive impact. Look forward to seeing Ben at Vegas XXXIV and beyond

    Ben had a very impressive performance at the Rubio Long Snapping regional camp in NJ on March 24, 2019. A very compact and powerful Long Snapper, his ball flies back to the punter with great accuracy. Would like to see him lock down his spiral and consistency a bit more with each snap. Great attitude and personality of him and will be very competitive in his class for the years to come.

    Wheless was impressive at the Rubio Long Snapping NC Spring Camp on March 10th, 2019. Thick and powerful Long Snapper that snaps a smooth, consistent ball that averaged at .80 all day long in NC. Ball was really tight in NC and super easy to catch for the punters. The harder he snaps and the more he trust his really good form, the better Wheless will do in the long run. Impressive day and he can dominate VEGAS XXXIV by continuing to focus on power and athleticism. Hard working Long Snapper. 


    Ben showed me some great things at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXIII Event on January 19-20, 2019. First off, love his attitude. He is coachable and listens well. Starting form is good and he is following through really well. Dives through like a champ. Balance is solid and he is moving very well on his feet. Type of athlete that is always moving with a purpose. Aggressive tackler. Snapping with confidence and power will be the keys to Ben moving up. Really letting the ball go will be massive for Ben.
