Jake Fitzgerald brings trusted long-snapping depth to Sam Houston
Fitzgerald is a **special teams specialist** whose value is in reliability, consistency, and roster flexibility rather than box-score stats; Sam Houston used him in one game in 2025, where he handled three PAT snaps and three punt snaps against Jacksonville State, and he arrives with a strong academic background and prior three-year experience at Merrimack. He is the kind of low-drama, high-trust fit teams want at long snapper—especially if you need a steady operation, mature locker-room presence, and a player whose role is judged by clean execution, not flashy numbers.[9][8]
