Southern Miss’s Creighton Nelms is a proven, low-drama special-teams stabilizer
Creighton Nelms has been a long-snapping fixture for Southern Miss, with the program listing him as a senior deep snapper and noting he earned honorable mention All-Conference USA honors in 2010 after handling nearly every special-teams rep cleanly, including just one blocked punt in 50 snaps. He’s the kind of roster fit coaches love: reliable, experienced, and assignment-sound rather than flashy, with added value from his football IQ and steady week-to-week consistency. If a team wants a specialist who keeps the operation smooth and rarely shows up on the wrong tape, Nelms fits the bill.
