If not for the prompting of his seventh-grade coach, Jacob Quattlebaum might not be where he is today.
Quattlebaum was playing center for Dauphin Junior High in Enterprise when coach Marc Sieving wanted to see if he could also play long snapper. It’s not the most glamorous position, to be sure, but one that is crucial to special teams operation — punting, field goals, extra points; long snappers are the triggermen in those facets of the game.

The list was narrowed to 10 semifinalists this week and the former Enterprise standout was not among those 10, which included Troy linebacker Charlton Martial and Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett.
Past winners of the Burlsworth include Heisman winner Baker Mayfield , former Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis in 2011 , former Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin , former Clemson/current Las Vegas Raiders receiver Hunter Renfrow and most recently Arkansas linebacker Grant Morgan last season.
