Snapper Ross Reiter added two preseason accolades to his resume.
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State long snapper Ross Reiter continued the Rams' preseason watch list run with two more accolades, earning preseason second team All-American honors from Rubio Long Snapping and an appearance on the Patrick Mannelly Award Watch List.
Â
The Mannelly Award is given to the nation's top long snapper, and both appearances are career-firsts for Reiter. He has previously been named to Phil Steele's preseason All-Mountain West squad and was a second team all-conference performer from the publication last season.
Since assuming the role as a true freshman in 2018, Reiter has taken every possible special teams snap and has done so without earning credit for a single bad snap, a span of 273 total snaps covering punts and placed kicks.

Reiter and the Rams continue to work through preseason practices ahead of the Sept. 3 season opener vs. South Dakota State at Canvas Stadium.
