SMU freshman Cody Williford brings specialist upside with long-snap reliability
Cody Williford is a 2026 true freshman long snapper at SMU from Southlake Carroll, and the key takeaway is simple: specialists don’t need highlight-reel volume, they need trust, consistency, and zero-drama execution. Public ranking data from Rubio Long Snapping listed him as a 4.5-star snapper with a strong frame, good athleticism, and excellent follow-through, while SMU’s roster lists him at 5'10", 202 pounds. That profile suggests a player built for clean operation in pressure moments—exactly what you want if you value field-goal and punt stability.
