Miami’s steady snap-and-go specialist: John Connelly is built for trust
John Connelly is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound redshirt freshman long snapper for Miami who redshirted in 2024 and has been described by long-snapping evaluators as smooth, fast, and well above college-level speed on his snaps.[1][2] For a special teams unit, that’s the good stuff: size, repeatable mechanics, and a snap style that suggests durability and consistency, not flash. If you want a long snapper who looks built to handle pressure and grow into a reliable hidden weapon, Connelly is the kind of low-drama, high-trust fit that coaches love.[1][2]
