Long Snapper Griffin Armstrong Transfers from LA Tech to TECH

And it looks like he knows a thing or two about Blacksburg already.

Happy to have this guy, however I don't want to hear his name again for the rest of his time he's here because 99% of the time it can't be good.

Lol yep. We were really spoiled those 4 years that we had Oscar Shadley. I honestly can't remember hearing his name a single time (tbh had to hit up HokieSports just to make sure I remembered his name correctly!)

Crazy how it turns out guys who are All-American longsnappers in high school turn out to be good longsnappers in college!

tbh the only times i remember hearing shadley's name was when he was also the first guy downfield to make the tackle on punt coverage

Yeah I thought about that after I made my post. He seemed to be freakishly good at that.

In some punt formations, long snapper has no blocking assignment, it's just snap and release. The gunners will have 1-2 blockers on them and the long snapper gets forgotten.

I don't think you can hit the long snapper on CFB.

"another perfect snap from Griffin Armstrong"

We put the K in Kwality

As long as it's not a long snapper who transferred from UVA, I'm happy

Outside it's night time, but inside it's LeDay

He xfer'd out

I know, he succeeded in his sabotage of Hokie football haha *sob*

Welcome home, Captain America!

For reference this was posted 3 years ago so when he was still in high school

Ahh the ol box of a dozen of Carol Lee's finest with an envelope stuffed full of Hardees coupons underneath. The Blacksburg Bag. The way the finest of recruits in Tech history have been swayed. Glad to see some things never change.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

The Blacksburg Bag is an institution! Source: me, because my dad wooed my mom with Carol Lee donuts in the 70s

My wife and I had Carol Lee instead of cake at our wedding!

Welcomed him in the recruiting thread, but welcome again. We definitely could use someone good at snapping.

Armstrong... proper name for a long snapper

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

I don't remember where I saw it but a guy had 4 sons and he trained all of them to be long snappers. They all received scollys. Nice!
