Virginia Tech is his first

Solwold camped in Blacksburg on Sunday, and picked up his opportunity from the Hokies in the aftermath. He's a tight end at the high school level, but is looking for his college attention as a longsnapper, where he's considered the No. 2 prospect in the nation by Kohl's Snapping. The fact that Virginia Tech is the first through the door, has a long history of special teams excellence, and has already hosted him on a visit should keep the Orange and Maroon in strong position for as long as they continue to actively recruit Solwold.

Solwold is a snapper first and foremost, and he manages to get the ball back to his holder or punter with a tight, low spiral. His dad, Mike, played for five seasons in the NFL at the position, so there's a lifelong familiarity for the young prospect. He's a good enough athlete that he could contribute at the tight end position (though it's uncommon at the Power-5 level for the snapper to also be a position player), and if nothing else that helps him in punt coverage. He'll want to clean up his running technique - there's some wasted motion, especially in the upper body - and his tackling before arriving at the next level, but the tools are there to be successful.
