Nation’s top high-school snapper turned Ole Miss special-teams lock
Caleb Blankenship arrived in Oxford as the nation’s top long snapper prospect and, after a redshirted 2024 debut, was listed by Ole Miss as the primary long snapper entering 2026. His edge is reliability: crisp, repeatable snapping, size for the job at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, and a reputation built from winning the Rubio Award as a prep standout. For a team, that means low-drama special teams and a specialist with proven pedigree, even if the box score won’t ever get spicy.
