Austin Brinkman brings NFL-ready reliability to WVU special teams
In the 2024 season, Austin Brinkman was West Virginia’s steady, high-end long snapper, handling punts, field goals, and extra points while earning Patrick Mannelly Award semifinalist recognition and All-American mention from specialist coverage. His biggest differentiator is trust: he’s a durable, experienced snapper with a strong academic/work-ethic reputation, and he rarely creates noise in the best possible way. If a team wants a specialist who is dependable under pressure, Brinkman is the kind of low-drama, high-value fit that quietly wins game days.
