Reliable veteran snapper with pro-day buzz in the 2026 cycle
Xander Echols is a seasoned Idaho long snapper who arrived after starting at UAB, and by spring 2026 he was still holding down the Vandals’ specialist role while drawing NFL draft attention for clean, consistent snapping and poise under pressure. Idaho listed him as a redshirt senior at 5-foot-11 and 235 pounds at Pro Day, and draft chatter points to advanced snap speed, dependable mechanics, and enough athleticism to cover kicks or chase down plays. If you need a low-drama, high-trust specialist, he looks like a smart fit.
