The Christian Yount Scholarship Fund for Rubio Long Snapping
by Christian Yount, Cleveland Browns, @TheYount



During my career, I have learned that hard work, perseverance, and dedication are essential to succeeding on and off the field.  I started my career as the 2^nd team long snapper on my freshman team, and just wanted an opportunity to play football.  After a lot of help from Chris Rubio, along with the drive and determination that was drilled into me over the years, I was rewarded with a scholarship to UCLA.  I knew that I wanted to continue playing football beyond college, once again putting my work ethic to the test.  Through my life experiences I have learned what it takes to succeed at all levels. Now, I want to give back to Rubio Long Snapping and the Long Snappers he continues to work with to make their dreams become a reality.

Here is your chance to tell me how your work ethic has led to success either in your Long Snapping or in another area of your life.  

Write an essay that illustrates how your hard work and your never give up attitude have helped you succeed on the field with your Long Snapping or in another aspect of your life.  The TWO essays that make the best impression on me and convince me that you have worked as hard as you can to achieve your goals will have their admission to the 10^th Annual National Snapping Spring Event in Las Vegas on May 12-13 paid for by me.
