Freshman long snapper Blake Jones brings steady special-teams upside to Murray State
In the 2026 season, Blake Jones is an active freshman long snapper for Murray State, and the appeal is all in the reliability profile: at 6-2 and 195 pounds, he arrives with four years of starting experience at Tates Creek High School plus multiple all-district and all-city honors. For a specialist spot, that background matters—he looks like a calm, repetition-driven fit rather than a stat-sheet star, which is exactly what you want when the snaps have to be clean and the pressure is sneaky.
