Personal Statement

I spent the first fifteen years of my life in Jackson, Tennessee, which might be one of the few cities in the state that operates like a small southern town.  Everyone knew me and my parents, and because of who my parents are, people had expectations of me and who I was going to be. I was expected to be respectful, to work hard, and to act with discipline and integrity, and I wanted to fulfill those expectations. I am an only child so I did not have a sibling to compete with growing up, so I had to take the initiative to find others with whom I could play, compete and practice.  When I was eight years, old I joined a flag football team and loved the team atmosphere as the teammates were my brothers and my best friends.  In eight grade, I really found interest in football and decided to pursue playing at the next level. When I saw some of the older guys I looked up to being successful long snapping, I decided I wanted to try this too. The follow through and some of the motion is similar to shooting a basketball which I have played since I was four.

In the fall of my ninth grade year, I chose The Baylor School, one of the top preparatory schools in the country, for high school. Since Baylor is four hours from my hometown, I am a boarding student.  I was suddenly playing in the top division in my state, and my coaches had a new level of expectations. I had to learn to take football more seriously in a way that makes being on the team feel more like a job where I have key responsibilities and I take pride in every repetition. The new expectations in football weren’t the only major adjustment. I also had a difficult transition academically, with a heavier and more intense work load, but also without the structure of coming home to my parents as I had to learn to do it on my own. After a rough start, I figured out how to manage my time in order to balance my study schedule and athletic schedule along with adjusting to living in the dorm environment.  Coming to boarding school has increased my maturity and readiness for life on my own. Now my goal is to graduate high school having reached my academic potential then go to college to study business and finance along with long snapping. I have learned that in sports and the rest of my life I am competitive, don’t like losing and that I finish what I start.  I have also learned that a team collectively can accomplish far more than anyone can individually.

  • Camp/Event
  • Rubio GA Camp
  • 4/28/19 to 4/28/19
  • Reid was snapping was tremendous power at the Rubio Long Snapping Spring Camp in GA on April 28, 2019. Body is strong and he is absolutely ripping the ball back to the punter. Reid has one of the hardest balls coming back to the punter. When his punt snaps hit the punter’s hands, it can bruise them with raw power. Form is good and he is using his whole body very well. Hands are like rockets and the ball jumps out of the gate very well. There is no stopping this kid on his journey to dominance. Staying healthy and continuing to improve at VEGAS XXXIV in May will easily get him a TOP 12 Camp spot.
  • Camp/Event
  • VEGAS XXXII Event
  • 5/11/18 to 5/13/18
  • "Reid showed me a ton of great things at the VEGAS XXXII Event in May of 2018. Very intriguing Long Snapper that is good athlete in several sports. Solid frame and he is strong. Quick on his feet due to other sports…. which is good. Form is solid, and he is snapping a nice, smooth ball. Big fan of Reid’s personality and work ethic. Borderline TOP 12 kid already. Watch him." - Chris Rubio, Rubio Long Snapping
  • Camp/Event
  • GA Spring Camp
  • 4/22/18 to 4/22/18
  • "Grant Reid had a great day at the Rubio Long Snapping spring camp in GA on April 22, 2018. Great frame and a very tough Long Snapper. Athletic Long Snapper that is good at multiple sports. Fluid in his movements. Form is good and I absolutely love when he snaps with full power and really drives his elbows through to create more whip. When Grant snaps as hard as he can and with full power, he is easily one of the top Long Snappers in his class." - Chris Rubio - Rubio Long Snapping
  • Camp/Event
  • VEGAS XXXI Event
  • 1/12/18 to 10/14/18
  • "Big fan of quick Reid’s hands are and how well his ball jumps out of the gate. His ball can be at eight yards when everyone else’s is at five. Great kid." - Chris Rubio, Rubio Long Snapping
  • Camp/Event
  • GA Fall Camp
  • 12/03/17 to 12/03/17
  • Grant showed me some good things at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in GA on December 3rd, 2017. Great frame and I love his attitude. He is coachable and listens well. Reaches back like a champion and has good balance. His hands are like rockets and really get the ball out of the gate well.Grant has great upside and type of Long Snapper that a coach is going to love on and off the field.
  • Camp/Event
  • Underclassmen Invitational
  • 7/19/17 to 7/21/17
  • "Grant had a great season of camps at the Rubio Long Snapping GA summer camp on July 11, 2017 and the Underclassmen Invitational in Tampa, FL. He has a good frame and is strong throughout his body. His follow through is excellent as he practically hands the ball to the punter. Love to see Grant focus on getitng his lower half fully involved and sped up to gain more power and speed on the ball. He can average, already, in the mid .7s right now and he isn't even using all of his legs. Locking down his spiral will help with his speed as well. Sky is the limit for Grant." - Chris Rubio, Rubio Long Snapping
  • Camp/Event
  • GA Summer Camp
  • 7/11/17 to 7/11/17
  • "Grant Reid was the best overall 2020 Long Snapper in attendance at the GA Camp. Built long and has the ability to snap in the .7s with good consistency. Really solid upside on Grant. He has quick hands and moved well on his feet." - Chris Rubio, Rubio Long Snapping
  • Camp/Event
  • Rubio Long Snapping Vegas 30
  • 5/13/17 to 5/14/17
  • "Grant did well at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS 30 Event on May 13-14, 2017. Very good athlete that dominated the agility section of the weekend. Grant left no doubt that he could be a factor on punt coverage for many years to come. Love to see him focus on getting his lower half fully involved to gain more speed on the ball. His hands are like rockets and the ball jumps out of the gate quickly, but can die along the way due to lack of lower body involvement. Kid is dripping with potential. Watch him." - Chris Rubio, Rubio Long Snapping
  • Camp/Event
  • 2019 Rubio Summer Camp Tour
  • 5/11/01 to 7/28/19
  • Reid had a great showing during the 2019 Rubio Long Snapping Summer Tour. He has very good size, works his tail off and has one of the best attitudes in the country. Nothing stops this kid and his overall drive. Snaps are very smooth and powerful. Quick hands that allow the ball to jump out of the gate quickly. He was inches away from earning an All-American spot in July. Great Long Snapper and even better person.
  • Camp/Event
  • Texas Fall Camp
  • Grant had a tremendous day at the Rubio Long Snapping Fall Camp in TX on November 18, 2018. His ball was precise and on target all day long. I don't believe he even had one snap above a .80 all day long in TX. Easily, one of the most consistent Long Snappers in his class. Each snap looks the same and they all hover at the mid .7s. Smooth Long Snapper with very little wasted movement, if any. Ball really does a solid job of jumping out of the gate. Love to see Grant focus on always snapping as hard as he can and proving his athleticism at VEGAS XXXIII. He was on the bubble last year for TOP 12 and he could/should be one of the first chosen this January IF he snaps the way I know he can.
