Southern Miss’s quiet glue guy: Andrew Tate anchors the long snap game
Andrew Tate is a 2026 junior long snapper for Southern Miss, a role that won’t pile up stats but absolutely matters in hidden-yardage battles. He’s a sturdy 5-foot-11, 203-pound specialist from Kosciusko, Mississippi, with junior-college experience at Hinds CC and no listed game stats, which is normal for his position. The fit is about reliability, consistency, and snap-to-hold trust—if you want a special-teams piece who keeps the operation clean, Tate looks like a solid, low-drama addition.
