Player Review
Battles was on fire at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS XXIX Event on January 14-15, 2017. He can pass an eyeball test quickly and was destroying the athleticism section of the weekend. Ball is VERY powerful and it is in balance with his accuracy as you can tell by his RSI below. Love to see him focus on getting fully set before each snap to lock down his consistency. Battles is a great Long Snapper and has a LEGIT shot of being the top kid in his class and an easy 5 Star Rubio Long Snapper if he keeps working the way he does by VEGAS 30.Accomplishments
TOP 12 CAMP inviteeVEGAS XXIX Average 15 Yard Snap Speed: .68
VEGAS XXIX 40 Time: 5.32
VEGAS XXIX RSI (Rubio Standard Index) from the Rubio Target: 44.44
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.
