Has that been common practice for most schools? I really have never heard of "Long snappers" only getting scholarships.
I have read about coaches opening up tryouts for the entire university for snappers and later those kids earn schollys but I have never paid attention enough to see where they were used in recruitment

There are a few each year now.
Right now for 2015 this is 3 commits with offers - One for LSU, one for tOSU, and one for Ohio U. 2014 - Oregon and FSU offered and accepted commitment from one. There were like 6 other commits but I'm not going to list every school, those were the top 2.
Bama and Michigan took one in 2013.
Ohio State offered Bryce Haynes in 2010 and he committed. Current LS on team. Usually first player to down the punt inside the 20 for Ohio State.
I dunno..... I'm thinking that scholly should be used for higher caliber. Snappers can be developed. But if you are loaded and can afford it, I guess so.
Read elsewhere that he will "gray shirt" so he won't count against this class.
Yeah, our current long snapper is a RS JR this year, so he still has a year next year of eligability. Most likely this kid will grey shirt this year and red shirt next year.
