Player Review

Dylan was impressive at VEGAS XXIX on January 14-15, 2017. Thick Long Snapper with good power throughout his body. Leaning down a bit and is beginning to do a good job on passing an eye ball test. A college strength coach is going to mold him perfectly over the next four to five years. Ball is tight and he has excellent consistency. Every single snap is the same over and over and over again. Focusing on increasing his athleticism and making sure he is not running too tall will really push him up the rankings ladder. Great kid and will be a solid locker room player.

Dylan looked very solid at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in IL on September 25, 2016. Body is thick, he has good power and he is looking more and more athletic every single camp. Ball is extremely smooth and he might be one of the most consistent Long Snappers in the country. He is like a machine with his accuracy. When he really explodes out of the gate, he can EASILY snap in the .7s. Love to see him continue to work on his athleticism and make sure he is getting his head up a bit quicker after the snap to stop a rusher. Quiet assassin out on the field. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him break the high score on the Target at VEGAS XXIX.

Accomplishments

VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .79
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.91
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 22.54

All Long Snappers were tested on The Rubio Target. Each Long Snapper was tested on 12 punt snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set) and 12 pat snaps where they had three normal snaps, three blocking left, three blocking right, three speed punt snaps (running in from the side and have three seconds to get the ball off once their feet are set). Once the Long Snapper has completed the test, they earn an RSI which is the fairest and most accurate way to judge a Long Snapper by numbers. Please note: the RSI does not account for athleticism, spiral or mentality.

RSI (Rubio Standard Index): The RSI is the score divided by the average speed on The Rubio Target. You may obtain 2 bonus points for an average of .75-.79, 2 more bonus points for an average of .70-.74 and an additional 2 more bonus points if you average below .70.
