Tuesday Conversation: Kneeland Hibbett
Q: How did you get into long snapping and discover you had a talent for it?
A: So it all started when I was in seventh grade. I was the center and my coach needed to do a punt formation, but we didn’t have a long snapper. He was like, ‘OK, you’re the center, you’re gonna start long snapping’. So I long snapped it and it was actually kind of good and I was like, ‘Oh, I might need to look into this.’ I looked it up and kind of started learning the form and got one of my mother’s gardening buckets and tied it to a basketball goal. And I would just sit there from my seventh grade year to my freshman year and just snap and snap and snap on that thing. So I kind of realized that I’d be able to play at the University of Alabama when Thomas Fletcher got here and realized that he was graduating when I would be a senior. It was my lifelong dream to be at Alabama, so I was able to make that happen.
