Rubio Long Snapping History



Student Since: 2011



Latest Evaluation: 1/12



Bottom line: I would grab this kid up right now if I was a college coach. His size is amazing, his attitude is even better and he has put in the right work as well as anyone I have every worked with in the past decade. Went from just learning to being one of the best in the country in about a year. I am very impressed with DePalma. Moves well. Ball is very fast and he is still just getting down the whole process! Once he is able to focus completely on snapping, he will be even more dominant than he already is. Potential on this man is unfathomable. OFFER NOW!!!



As I predicted in the summer, DePalma would continue to rise. Another monster jump by this extremely long athlete. A true 6'6" and moves very well. Like his frame right now and he could still gain another 30 lbs if a college wanted him to. Already has a college scholarship for basketball and could get another one for Long Snapping. The way he is improving, it could easily become a reality. Ball is very, very fast. Form is excellent. Accuracy is solid. Consistency and blocking are what I want to see the most in Vegas. OUTSTANDING attitude. 



DePalma did VERY well in GA for their summer camp hence the monster move up the ranks (30+ spots). He is getting thicker and his form is getting better and better. Starting to really utilize his incredible length. Very smooth and accurate with good speed. If he continues at this pace, he will easily be in the top 10 in his class by January Vegas. Very solid human being with a good personality.



DePalma has a fantastic body for Long Snapping. Very, very long and athletic. True sport is basketball (but I am going to try and adjust that) so he is very good on his feet. Follows through well and follows directions with the best of them. By about mid way through the camp he was really letting the bal fly and it was amazing. The more he does the proper drills, the better he will be. Solid base.
