Reliable long snapper with real special-teams value
Nelson Pipes is a senior long snapper for Lindenwood who brings stability, size, and experience to the Lions’ special teams room, and in the 2025 season he appeared in 10 games while continuing a multi-year run in the lineup. He originally came to Lindenwood after competing at Kansas State and was rated a five-star snapper in high school, which helps explain why coaches trust him in a role where consistency is everything. For a team looking for a low-drama, high-dependability specialist, Pipes is exactly the kind of detail-oriented fit that quietly keeps drives—and games—on track.
