Navy’s Eli Cronic: a steady long snapper with game-day reliability
Cronic is a **freshman/sophomore long snapper** on Navy’s roster, and while specialists rarely show up in box scores, his value is consistency, precision, and trust in the kicking game.[5][1] Navy lists him at **5-foot-11, 191 pounds**, with no public season statistics yet, which is normal for a snapper and means the evaluation is more about clean operation than raw production.[5][1] If you care about hidden-value football players, Cronic is a fit for teams that prize reliability, low-mistake execution, and special-teams detail over headline-grabbing numbers.[5][2]
