Player Review
Michaelsen did really well at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXIX Event on January 14-15, 2017. He is one of the most consistent Long Snappers in the country. Every snap with Michaelsen, is the same. Body is maturing really well and he is beginning to look more and more like a college athlete. Moves well on his feet and can be a factor in punt coverage. The more confidence he has with his snaps will push him up even higher up the rankings. He will be as good as he wants to be.

Loved watching Michaelsen snap at the Rubio Long Snapping fall camp in CA on October 30, 2016. He was snapping with great confidence and looked sharp. Ball is quick and hovers consistently in the .7s. Love to see him focus on getting his eyes through a bit quicker to ensure more accuracy. For his level of snapping, I want to see everything in The Rubio Zone and I know he can do it. Very good Long Snapper and just getting better. Making the finals shouldn't be an issue for him at VEGAS XXIX.
Accomplishments
VEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .82
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.25
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 30.99

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.
