Notre Dame’s elite long snapper: Alex Peitsch is a proven specialist with blue-chip pedigree
Alex Peitsch is a high-end specialist whose main value is reliability: Notre Dame listed him at 6-1 1/8, 215 pounds, and he entered college as the nation’s No. 1 long snapper in multiple recruiting services, including Kohl’s, 247Sports, and ESPN. He saw game action as a freshman in 2020 but did not play in 2021, so his current impact depends on roster role and opportunity rather than box-score stats. His differentiators are consistency, national-level camp dominance, and a reputation for immediate impact from specialist evaluators, which makes him a strong fit for teams that value precision and pressure-proof snapping over flashy production.
