Auburn's Reliable LS Now Bringing CFL Grit to Saskatchewan
Reed Hughes, Auburn's dedicated Long Snapper (LS), has transitioned from college to the professional stage by signing with the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the CFL, marking a major differentiator as he bypasses the NFL draft to secure immediate playing time [1]. Standing 6'1" and 233 lbs, Hughes combines the physical durability needed for the snapper role with a high-intensity, team-first personality that coaches value for special teams reliability [2]. While college stats for LS are sparse, his selection by a CFL franchise validates his consistency and mental toughness under pressure, making him a low-risk, high-reward fit for any team needing a steady snapper who won't miss a beat [1]. His journey from Conway, AR to Auburn and now the CFL showcases a relentless work ethic and adaptability that defines his profile beyond the numbers [2].
