LOGAN, Utah — Utah State football senior long snapper Jacob Garcia has been named to the Patrick Mannelly Award Watch List it was announced on Monday.
The Patrick Mannelly Award is presented annually to the best long snapper in the nation. The Award was created in 2019 and benefits Bernie’s Book Bank, a non-profit organization located in Lake Bluff, Illinois. A total of 30 players were named to Monday’s watch list, with 10 semifinalists to be named later on November 11. Three finalists will be announced on November 25, and the winner selected at a live award ceremony in Lake Bluff on December 14.
Garcia, a native of Anaheim, California (Servite HS), has served as the Aggies’ long snapper since the 2021 campaign, appearing in 40 games overall, and was named to the Phil Steele 2024 Preseason All-Mountain West first team.
