Freshman long snapper Blaine Johnson brings clean, reliable special-teams upside to UT Martin
Blaine Johnson enters the 2026 season as a freshman long snapper for UT Martin, listed at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds out of Centennial HS in Franklin, Tennessee[1]. Long snappers rarely show up in traditional box scores, so the real value here is reliability: Johnson’s job is high-precision, low-drama consistency on punts and kicks, and UT Martin appears to trust him enough to keep him active on the roster[1][2]. If your team wants a developmental special-teams piece with size, local pedigree, and a classic “do your job every snap” profile, he’s a sensible fit[1][2].
