Reliable long snapper in the mix for FAU
John Clancy, Jr. is a redshirt junior long snapper for Florida Atlantic, giving the Owls a specialized, experienced piece rather than a headline-grabbing stat line. His value is in consistency, snap precision, and the kind of quiet reliability coaches love from the specialist spot; FAU’s roster also lists him at 5-11 and from Sarasota, Fla. For a team looking for stability in the kicking game, he looks like a practical fit. In the 2017 season, FAU notes he handled long-snapping duties versus Navy and was part of a unit that helped produce the program’s longest field goal at the time (54 yards).
