Player Review
Rubio Long Snapping HistoryStudent Since: 2006
Latest Evaluation: 10/11
As said before, Grant is one of the best under pressure I have worked with in the past ten years. Extremely accurate with his snaps. Just paints the Target when he is competing. Ball shows waves of speed...at times. When he gets his body to where I want it, he will flat out dominate due to his impeccable form. With more strength, comes more speed for this gem from CA. Body is going to be the biggest thing for him in getting to the next level. He gets that completely set up and he is gold. Flat out gold.
When Grant is relaxed and non-chalant about his snapping, he is pure gold and unstoppable. Looked like an absolute machine in IL for the Nike Spring Camp in Chicago. Throwing bullets (never above a .8) and, as usual, right on target. Keeping this up and moving towards to the college type body will make Grant a five star in no time.
Form continues to be exceptional and Grant continues to handle pressure as well as anyone I have ever come across in the country. Blocks well and moves better and better each time I see him. Getting that college type body is going to make him move up the ranks with more speed and get the coveted five star ranking for a Long Snapper. You need someone to get you one good snap right now and he could do it.

As said before, when Grant is blase about his snapping, he is golden. I will say this with no doubt in my mind, he is the best PAT snapper in the country. Ball is tight and sticks to the holder's hands. On The Target, he will miss the PAT hole one out of a hundred time...if there is an earthquake on that one time. Ball comes out tight and is always accurate. Has a tendency to let up a tad when doing punts. Size will do him wonders in all aspects of his snapping. Nails under pressure. Solid personality that gets along with all.
