Note: The following appears in the Boston College gameday football program.
Playing college football did not even cross the mind of long snapper Tyler Brown when he made his decision to attend Clemson. He knew he wanted to get involved with the football team and was able to intern for Joey Batson, Tiger football’s director of strength & conditioning.
Brown spent over two years assisting Batson while working in a football environment that was so familiar to him from playing long snapper at Eastside High School in Greenville, S.C.
“During that time, being with the guys made me miss being part of a team, and I thought I might as well walk on and see what happens.”
After three tryouts, he earned a spot for the 2018 season as a tight end. At the time, the long snapper position on the roster was full, but Brown was happy to go where he was needed in order to earn a spot on the squad.
Prior to Clemson, Brown had never played the tight end position, not even a day of offense. He became overwhelmed during his first season on the scout team, as one would be facing defensive tackles like Christian Wilkins and Dexter Lawrence.
Brown knew that long snapping was the end destination for him, and it would take some time to get there, as he moved to that position during the 2019 spring practice.
“If you really want to make your dream happen, you can do it…you just have to sacrifice a lot and put it all out on the line,” explained #52.
Fellow long snapper and junior Jack Maddox has been Brown’s roommate the last three years.
“We have been through everything together,” said Brown on the Tigers’ first-team long snapper. “We have a great relationship. We have an interesting group because we are different than the other positions. The less people know about you, the better.”
In other words, the long snapping position does not receive a lot of praise. If a fan does know the name of the person at the position, it is unwelcome attention.
