The Hawks’ steady-snap weapon with proven reliability
Kent Vines is a veteran long snapper for Monmouth whose value shows up in the boring-but-crucial stuff: consistency, durability, and clean operation. In the 2022 season, he was a Phil Steele/DraftScout FCS Postseason All-America Third Team selection and appeared in all 11 games at long snapper, after earning Second Team All-Big South honors in 2021 and snapping for 43 straight games by 2022. That kind of trust matters—he’s the type of specialist who helps a kicking game stay calm, accurate, and drama-free.
