Shimko Named Overall and Speed Champ at Rubio Camp

NC State commitment Joe Shimko‍ was the speed and overall champion at the Rubio Long Snapping Summer Camp held on Saturday in North Carolina.

Shimko, who committed to NC State earlier this month after earning an offer at camp, defeated former NC State commitment Drew Little‍ in the finals for the overall title.  Little is now committed to rival North Carolina.

Currently rated the No. 4 snapper in the country by Rubio Snapping, founder Chris Rubio raves about Shimko.

"Shimko is an absolute machine and NC State got a great one," Rubio said of Shimko.  "I have never seen a Long Snapper like Shimko before...he actually gets better throughout the day. The more tired he gets, the better he gets, the faster his ball gets, the more powerful his snaps become. It really is incredible to watch.

"Extremely fast Long Snapper (on his feet and with his actual snap) that moves with great fluidity at all times. The bigger and stronger he gets, the more he will be able to dominate at the next level. Overall attitude is incredible as he works as hard and smart as anyone to go through Rubio Long Snapping. Extremely impressed with Shimko and I don't expect him to stop improving anytime soon. Not in his makeup."
