DEL.ICIO.USMilton long snapper Brodsky commits to Tulsa
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

With one eye on a preferred walk-on status at South Carolina, Milton long snapper Michael Brodsky went with a sure thing by committing to Tulsa on Thursday.
“I chose Tulsa because it’s a great football program, the coaches are awesome and because of the team they’re building,” Brodsky said. “I expect to graduate with bowl rings and Conference USA championships.”
Brodsky had alredy received serious interest from Georgia Tech, Houston, Miami (Ohio), Middle Tennessee State, North Carolina and UT Chattanooga.
But full-ride offers for long snappers are a rarity in college football.
“I’ve heard of it, but I didn’t really expect to get a scholarship,” Brodsky admitted. “I figured I’d get a walk-on. So I was really excited when [Tulsa] offered.
“There are some schools that use a tight end and have an average snapper. But they can lose a game without having a good snapper. I think it’s a really important position.”
Considered one of the premier long snappers in the nation, Brodsky mastered his position working with Chris Rubio of ChrisSailerKicking.com and Ben Fuller of prosnapper.com.

What a steal by Tulsa. TULSA! How could those SEC and ACC schools allow this to happen in their own backyard?
