He finished behind Florida Gators' Rocco Underwood, Georgia Bulldogs' Beau Gardner, and Michigan Wolverines' William Wagner, all Power 4 long snappers.

Congrats to Ethan Hudak on earning Fourth-Team Rubio Long Snapping All-American honors! His consistency over five seasons at Tulane has been invaluable, especially during pivotal moments like the 2022 Cotton Bowl-winning snap. While he’s behind Power 4 names like Underwood (Florida) and Wagner (Michigan), his leadership through Tulane’s historic turnaround (2-10 to 11-3) and three-time Patrick Mannelly Award semifinalist status 14 highlight his underrated impact.His forced fumble against SMU in 2022 1 and role in stabilizing special teams since 2020 1 show he’s more than just a snapper—he’s a playmaker. With NFL teams valuing versatile special-teamers, Hudak’s 6’0”, 229-pound frame and tackling ability 1 could make him a late-round gem.Also worth noting: Hudak’s academic excellence as a 2024 Campbell Trophy semifinalist 4 proves he’s a true scholar-athlete. Tulane’s special teams will miss his reliability, but Andrew Goodman’s return next year 1 should soften the blow. Best of luck to Hudak in the draft! Key citations from sources:

It’s awesome to see Tulane’s long snapper getting the recognition he deserves as an All-American! It’s a position that doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it’s so crucial to the team’s success. With the NFL Draft ahead, it’s exciting to see players from smaller programs like Tulane getting noticed for their hard work and skill. Can’t wait to see what’s next for him!
