Tulane’s rock-solid snapper: Ethan Hudak brings rare special-teams stability
Ethan Hudak has been Tulane’s dependable long snapper, playing in all 14 games in the 2024 season and earning a 2024 Patrick Mannelly Award semifinalist nod after multiple watchlist appearances in prior seasons. His value is all about consistency, durability, and hidden-yardage impact—he’s the kind of specialist coaches trust because he keeps punts and kicks clean, steady, and drama-free. Hudak also stood out off the field as a high-academic performer and team leader, making him a strong fit for programs that prize reliability, professionalism, and special-teams edge.
