Congrats to Trent Sieg (Colorado State University Snapper) for signing with the Oakland Raiders for the 2018 NFL Season.

I first met and worked with Trent Sieg back in 2016 when he came to Fountain Hills, Arizona for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson.  He told me that his goal was to become and NFL snapper and wanted to do whatever it took to give him the best chance to achieve his goal.  

Trent Sieg Works To Improve His Snapping Accuracy & Consistency
Like most snappers he had some excellent potential but needed to become more accurate, consistent, and improve his blocking footwork.

In the past couple of years Trent took several ONE on ONE Snapping Lessons and also attend my Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camps in both Arizona and Wisconsin. 
2016 Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camp in Franklin, Wisconsin 

These Snapping Camps are designed for the College, Free Agent and Elite High School Snappers to be exposed to NFL Coaching Techniques.   I not only emphasize how to improve your snapping accuracy and consistency but also expose these snappers to NFL blocking and coverage Techniques. 

These camps are attended every year by many of the nations top collegiate snappers.  They all want to know how they stack up with other top college and NFL potential snappers around the country.  


In the past several years there have been many elite college snappers attend these Snappers ONLY 'Vital Man' Training Camps.  Several of them are now playing on Sundays!  Morgan Cox (Ravens), Matt Overton (Colts),  Kevin McDermott (Vikings), Joe Cardona (Patriots), Kyle Nelson (49ers), Reid Ferguson (Bills), Beau Brinkley (Titans), Zach Woods (Saints), Hunter Bradley (Packers), Rick Lovato (Eagles) and now Trent Sieg (Raiders).



In January of 2018 Trent was again here in Fountain Hills for a ONE on ONE Snapping Lesson, than came to the January Snappers ONLY Camp preparing for the 2018 College Senior Combine.

Coach Zauner's 9th Annual College Senior Combine attracted 70 College Seniors.  Trent was one of the 19 Snapping, Punting and Kicking Specialists that I recommended  to the 32 NFL Professional Football Teams that I felt have as NFL potential.

After the 2018 NFL Draft Trent signed a Free Agent Contract with the Baltimore Ravens.  Trent was very fortunate to play in all five preseason games and show other NFL teams what his true potential would be.   

When Andrew DePaola the Raiders snapper unfortunately got injured in the opening game the Oakland Raiders had tryouts and brought in six free agent snappers.  After an extensive workout Trent Sieg was the Raiders choice. 

So, Congrats to Trent for all his hard work and dedication to pursuing his goal of becoming an NFL Snapper.
