Tommy Snyder

TIFFANY ON SNYDER
2025 – “Questions always abound with recruits, and especially so with defensive personnel. How quickly will they make the transition to the speed of decision-making, stickwork and 1-on-1 defense that is critical for becoming an impactful young player? Tommy has emphatically answered such with a convincing Fall, proving himself to be a solid on-ball defender with an exceptional high schematic acumen and he is startling with his capture of ground balls. Do not be surprised at all to see Tommy on the field this spring playing a big role for us.”
