I didn’t get a chance to ask snapper Will Collins why he was juggling a soccer ball after practice on Tuesday, but hey … football is football. Except when it’s fútbol.
I guess snappers are important if you want to kick a field ¡gooooooooooooooooooooollllllll!
Trivia: The announcer who invented the famous soccer cry is USC alumnus Andrés Cantor. He majored in Journalism.
Back to Collins. From his official USC bio:
Some people are rocket scientists. In my case, I’m a long snapper…If you’re a good snapper, no one knows you. If you’re a bad snapper, everyone knows you. Personally, I’d prefer to remain anonymous…If they announced my name at a game, I think I’d laugh. Either that or I’d start shaking…The brief time I get in the game, I’m seeing the action upside down and between my legs.
