    Player Review

    OFFER NOW!!!!

    Halkyard was excellent during the 2019 Rubio Long Snapping Summer Tour. Super athletic Long Snapper that will easily be a factor on the punt coverage team. Moves really well. He is improving at a tremendous level right now. Everytime you see Halkyard he can amae you with his great snaps and even better attitude. 

    Halkyard had a great day at the Rubio Long Snapping IL Spring Camp on April 14th, 2019. Extremely athletic Long Snapper with a great, long frame. Right off the bat, you can tell why Northwestern went after him so hard. They are getting a great one in Halkyard. He was on fire all day in IL and left no doubt that he is one of the best Long Snappers in his class. He has grown about another inch and is absolutely ripping the ball back to the punter. Ball was flying back to the punter with times that were well under .75 throughout the entire day. I would like to see Halkyard make sure he isn’t leaning to his left in his snapping motion to completely lock down his accuracy and push his RSI up the charts. Tremendous day for Halkyard and it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see him in the finals at VEGAS XXXIV in May. 


    Will showed me some really good things at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXXIII Event on January 19-20, 2019. Absolutely love his overall length and his frame. Will easily will be able to put on about fifty pounds over the next couple of years. Form is good and it will be perfect once his butt is a tad lower (back to parallel to the ground) and when he gets fully set. Getting set will help with speed and accuracy. Will's upside is off the charts. Moves pretty darn well on his feet. It would not surprise me at all to see Will end up in the top ten by the fall of next year.
