Army freshman LS Owen Stecker brings snap depth and northern toughness to West Point
Owen Stecker enters the 2026 Army roster as a freshman long snapper from Northern Highlands in Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J., listed at 5'11" and 205 pounds, giving the Black Knights a young specialist with the size and body type coaches like at the position. His value is less about box-score flash and more about reliability, consistency, and pressure-proof execution in the hidden-game role that can swing field position and special-teams trust. At Army, that usually means: clean snaps, disciplined prep, and zero drama — which is exactly what you want from a long snapper.
