2012 Snappers National Rating System

12/31/11 - This is the 3rd of 3 rankings Kohl's will do this year. We only evaluate campers that we have personally seen at a Kohl's camp. In order to assure yourself a ranking you must attend a Kohl's Showcase camp or the Scholarship camp. When ranking we ask the question, "If there was a college game today, is this athlete ready to help a college team win?". We look at the camp charts and take into account the different conditions at each camp. We also look strongly at how an athlete performs in drill work when they know they are being evaluated and graded. We see how they handle pressure and react in the camp competitions. We see certain athletes multiple times a year and try to grade them on their average performance. RANKINGS NOTE: Kohl's sees more athletes than anyone else in America at our 105 events. There may be over 200 Kohl's high school seniors playing college football next season. There are many good prospects at the 4.0 and 4.5 star levels that will start in college in the future.

1 Hirth, Zach 205 6' 4" Top performer for the 2011 National Invitation Scholarship Camp. Zach is a snapper with long levers and a very smooth snap delivery. He is consistent from 14 yards with a .72 seconds average snap time. Zach is very athletic and runs well with a 40 time of 5.1 seconds. His long snap and short snap accuracy are very good and he is an athlete that looks forward to the pressure situations. The past 3 camps that Zach has attended, he has walked away either the winner of the snap challenge or the top overall performer. He truly does thrive in pressure situations and I look for this to be helpful when competing for a starting spot. If I'm facing fourth and ten from our own 7, I want Hirth. Zach also was the top finisher and snap competition winner at the 2011 Midwest Showcase Event. He has proven over and over that he thrives under pressure situations. MO
