2016 University o...Personal Statement
I am a dedicated student athlete that believes in a strong Academic/Athletic work balance, so I am looking for a school that has that same support structure. With my goal after High School being to continue my education while playing Football at a Highly Competitive college. I believe I would be a model student athlete and leader for any University. I have attended the Nick Saban Football Camp at the University of Alabama for the past 8 years. I am ranked with Rubio Long Snapping. I have played DB, ILB, Guard, Tackle and Center. However, my passion is Long Snapping. 7, 12 or 15 yards. For more information please check out my Hudl, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter accounts for highlights.

- 11/24/19 to 11/24/19
- Echols was impressive at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in GA on November 24th, 2019. He is a very smooth and consistent Long Snapper. True student of the potions and it shows with his snapping motion and form. His lower half is very involved and he can easily get the ball back under .79. Really consistent with his snapping speeds in the mid .7s and could easily be in the high .6s if he speeds up his hands right at the beginning of his snapping motion. Body is becoming very solid and his college coach will love him. Keep an eye on him at VEGAS XXXV in January as he shoots for a TOP 12 Camp Invite.
