Nation’s Top-Graded Long Snapper with Elite Intensity and Big-Play Clutch
Liam Reardon, the 6'1", 230-lb graduate student long snapper for Northwestern, finished the 2025 season as PFF College’s highest-graded FBS long snapper, averaging 45.0 yards per punt with 10 inside the 20-yard line. Rarely praised but fiercely reliable, he broke out with a fumble recovery against No. 18 Michigan, proving his clutch intensity under pressure. A Southside Chicago native who grew up watching Northwestern, Reardon brings perfect snaps, perfect blocks, and a team-first mentality. With zero injury history and four tackles in 13 games, he’s a high-fit, low-risk specialist who elevates special teams instantly.
