Maryland’s quietly reliable snapper: Andrew Schmitt keeps the Terps’ special teams clean
Andrew Schmitt’s value is the kind coaches adore and fans barely notice until it’s missing: Maryland has credited him as a four-year starter at long snapper, part of a punt unit that extended a nation-best blocked-punt streak. That kind of reliability, consistency, and coverage hustle makes him a special-teams glue guy rather than a stat-sheet star. If your team wants a low-drama, high-trust specialist who does the dirty work well, Schmitt is exactly the sort of fit that keeps hidden-yardage wins from turning into hidden-yardage disasters.
