Bowling Green’s steadying long-snap engine, with a viral sidekick
In the 2025 season, George Carlson was Bowling Green’s dependable long snapper, appearing in all 12 games and handling snaps on punts, field goals, and PATs without missing a beat. The differentiator here is reliability: specialists rarely get headlines unless something goes wrong, and Carlson’s game is built on making that a non-event. He also brings some extra visibility and locker-room juice thanks to his cat Pudge, which turned him into a campus favorite and speaks to his personality and presence.
