January 22, 2021
Xander Echols is a five-star long snapper from Chelsea High School in Alabama committed to UAB.
Long snappers rarely make headlines, but Xander Echols earned them. The Chelsea High School senior maintained a 99.3% accuracy rate across his career—just one bad snap in four years of varsity football.
Rubio Long Snapping, the premier ranking service for the position, designated Echols a five-star prospect. He signed with UAB, becoming only the second player in Chelsea football history to earn an FBS scholarship. The position demands consistency above all else; Echols has delivered exactly that.
