Kennesaw State LS Ben Blanton: promising snapper with upside and work ethic
Ben Blanton is a developmental long snapper at Kennesaw State who saw game action as a freshman in 2024, appearing against Louisiana Tech, and he has earned outside praise for being a very strong athlete with good form and an exceptionally hard-working approach.[3][4] That combination matters because reliable snapping is built on consistency, technique, and temperament, and Blanton’s profile suggests a player whose best trait is upside: when he snaps harder, he performs better, which is a useful fit for a program that values special-teams reliability and coachability.[4]
