Player Review
Dominic did well in his online virtual ranking opportunity video. He is a super athletic Long Snapper that gets out of the gate as well as anyone I have ever worked with in some time. Explodes when he is running and he has good hips. When he gets fully set, Dominic can deliver a flat out quick pearl to the punter. Ball has good pop and I love when he leans back just a tad more. Snap and release is very good for Dominic. He is fast on his feet. Lots of upside due to athleticism and quickness.
Dominic had a good two days at the Rubio Long Snapping Rising Seniors Camp in TX on July 11-12, 2020. His starting form is excellent and his hands are quick out of the gate. The more consistenly he snaps the ball hard and drives his eyes/head through, the more dominant Dominic will be in the long run. Solid personality and Dominic showed me that he is coachable. Slow motion drills will help to get his lower half continuously involved in the process. Good improvement and Dominic is headed in the right direction.
Dominic did well at the Rubio Long Snapping Spring Camp in NC on March 8th, 2020. He has a solid frame and is able to move well on his feet. Love his follow through and how well he reaches back to the punter. Really drives through to the punter like a champ. The more Dominic can use his athletic lower half, the more he will get his snap speeds under .80 by VEGAS XXXVI in May. Locking down his spiral will be huge as well. Good upside and power.
O’Brien was solid at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in NC on October 6th, 2019. I absolutely love how well he gets his upper body through to the punter. He can drive his eyes/head through like an absolute champ. I would like to see O’Brien focus on slow motion drills to enable him to get all of his lower involved in the process. Getting his legs locked will easily get his snaps to the low .8s and even high .7s by VEGAS XXXV in January.
O’Brien was solid at the Rubio Long Snapping NC Spring Camp on March 10th, 2019. Good attitude and he is coachable. His hands are really quick and Dominic reaches back very well with his follow through. Slow motion drill swill help a ton to get his legs fully involved in the process. When Dominic slows down the process and gets his lower half to lock out, his ball will easily be in the .8s by VEGAS XXXIV in May. His hands are beyond quick
