Albany State’s Tyler Ivey: low-profile long snapper, high-value special teams piece
Tyler Ivey is a sophomore long snapper for Albany State in the 2026 season, listed at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, with the kind of specialist profile teams love for its reliability and quiet precision.[1][2] He was a 2025 signing-day addition out of Thomasville High, where he also played linebacker, which suggests toughness and versatility beyond the snapper label.[2][3] There are no official 2026 stats recorded for him yet, so the value case is built on role fit, consistency, and special-teams trust rather than box-score production.[2]
