Brody Tunison: A three down athlete in a specialist jersey

Quiet Grind. Violent Finish.

Some long snappers are precise.
Some are fast.
A rare few are flat-out, dangerous after the snap.

Brody Tunison is that problem.

Out of Indian Rocks Christian School (Largo, Florida), Tunison isn’t just snapping footballs he’s hunting space, closing ground, and wrecking comfort zones. A 2027 prospect with dual 4.5-star ratings from Rubio Long Snapping and Kohl’s Kicking, Brody has already carved out his reputation as one of the most athletic long snappers in the country.

And he’s just getting started.

 

BUILT DIFFERENT BY DESIGN

Brody didn’t fall into football. He grew into it. Flag football turned into pads, pads turned into responsibility, and by 9th grade, he knew this wasn’t a hobby. This was a mission.

Why long snapping?

Because while others see a specialty role, Brody saw an edge.

His athleticism wasn’t going to be limited, it was going to be weaponized.

At 5’11”, 185 lbs (with eyes on 190–200), Tunison snaps with violence and releases like a linebacker shot out of a cannon. His fastest verified snap?
.67 seconds.
 

SNAP. RELEASE. ERUPT.

At elite camps, evaluators don’t just talk about Brody’s accuracy, they talk about how fast he moves.

  • Rubio TOP 12 Invitee (2025)
    Described as “extremely athletic” who “flat-out flies on his feet.”

  • Snap Times: Consistently .68–.70

  • 40-Yard Dash: 4.59

  • 5-10-5 Shuttle: 4.39

  • Kohl’s Rating: 4.5 Stars (2026 Future Stars Camp)

That speed isn’t for show- it translates.

On punt coverage, Brody isn’t participating.
He’s arriving and delivering.

 

NOT JUST A SPECIALIST

Here’s where the story tilts.

During his sophomore season, while handling long snapping duties, Brody lined up at linebacker and racked up:

  • 126 tackles

  • 7 TFLs

  • 2 sacks

Oh! and just for fun?
He’s taken reps at running back and competes in track to sharpen the blade even further.

This isn’t a snapper who avoids contact.
This is a snapper who creates it.

 

THE GRIND

Adversity didn’t scare Brody.


Work harder. Trust the process. Come back stronger.

His weekly routine says everything you need to know:

  • Mon/Wed/Fri: Lift

  • Tue/Thu: Speed

  • Constant refinement of release point

  • Calm under pressure, anchored in repeatable form

Ask teammates and coaches how they’d describe him and you’ll hear the same thing:

Quiet. Hard-working. Leader.

No noise.
All substance.

 

WHY COACHES SHOULD CARE

Brody isn’t asking for shortcuts.
He’s not afraid to sit behind a starter.
He’s not chasing stars, he’s chasing standards.

He wants a tough, demanding, blue-collar program that loves the grind as much as he does. A place where effort matters, development is earned, and work speaks louder than hype.

His promise is simple:

“I’ll be the hardest worker in your building.”

And he means it.

 

THE FINAL WORD

Off The Uprights doesn’t belong to the loudest.
It belongs to the ones who prepare in silence and strike with intent.

Brody Tunison is proof that long snapping can be explosive, violent, and momentum changing. He’s not just delivering the ball. He’s delivering impact.

Snap speed.
Coverage speed.
Defensive mindset.
Unbreakable work ethic.

This is what happens when a specialist refuses to be “just a specialist.”

Attack the rep.
Attack the moment.
Attack the standard.
