Testimonials
“Drew is an amazing long snapping coach and person. He was able to teach our son the skills and techniques to be a top long snapper; helping him earn a 5 star ranking and getting recruited to play at the division 1 level. We can’t thank him enough for the impact he has had on our son both on and off the field.”
Lisa Murphy - Long snapping Parent
“We feel extremely fortunate to have found Drew to guide and mentor our son in his long snapping journey. He has gained so much knowledge and confidence in a short amount of time. The virtual lessons have been perfect for us, and Drew has been able to help him make some changes that have made a huge difference for him. While Drew's football knowledge is exceptional, what has stood out most is how genuinely invested he is in our son's growth and success, both on and off the field. We look forward to continuing to learn from him and have him in our son’s corner.”
Brin Ritter - Virtual - Long snapping Parent - Texas
“My son started longsnapping with Drew in between his sophomore and junior years. I can’t say enough for what Drew has meant to my son‘s growth, not only as a football player, but as a young man. Drew has always been there to help my son and mentor him. He’s honestly changed the trajectory of my son‘s path. Seen the growth in my son on and off the football field as he has the college to play football, can’t be understated by the help Drew has given him. We are so thankful for Drew’s leadership, kindness, and friendship. .”
Chris Gregory - Long Snapping Parent
“My son is an MVP Juco and FBS D1 level snapper thanks to Coach Ferris. For advanced/elite snappers Ferris is the ideal resource for the NCAA level as well as youth/high school.”
Randy Rovegno - Long Snapping Parent
“"My son has made consistent progress each year in his snapping speed and accuracy. This Winter he set a goal to be invited to Rubio Long Snapping's prestigious Top 12 Camp. I felt like he was close, but he was not quite where he needed to be to earn that invitation. I saw Drew was offering virtual lessons and figured it was worth a shot. From the very first session, Drew made incremental adjustments to my son's snapping. The level of analysis and feedback he was able to provide virtually has been amazing and has taken my son's performance to another level. Drew is terrific relating to young men and pushing them to have high standards for themselves. My son is a far better Long Snapper as a result of his work with Drew and I'm happy to share that he did earn a Top 12 Invite with the #2 RSI at Rubio's Las Vegas 48 National Camp.
Thank you, Drew!"

“Our son has been working virtually with Coach Ferris for the last seven months. The progress and growth over that time has been phenomenal. Drew's ability to identify and correct the smallest details in form and technique has been a big part of our son's development as a long snapper. We also love the simple drill work that is easy for our son to understand and that he can recreate on his own. Drew has been an incredible role model and motivator from day one, as well. We are incredibly thankful to have met Coach Ferris and would recommend him to anyone at any level! ”
Mike Dean - Virtual Long Snapping Parent - SandPoint Idaho
“I am writing to share my experience working with Coach Drew Ferris, who has been my coach for the past two years. I truly believe that without his guidance, I would not have reached my current level of performance in long snapping.
Coach Ferris has helped me significantly refine my form and technique, particularly in areas where I previously felt I had plateaued. Beyond technical instruction, he has provided me with invaluable opportunities that I once thought were out of reach, such as the chance to train and take reps alongside professional athletes.
I am incredibly grateful for his ongoing support and the doors he has opened for my development. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my time training with him.”
