COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M football’s Shea Freibaum has been named to the Patrick Mannelly Award watch list, the organization announced Monday. The award is presented annually to the nation’s best FBS long snapper.
Freibaum, a redshirt junior from Scottsdale, Ariz., is in his first season at Texas A&M after transferring from Oklahoma State. He was a three-year letterwinner with Oklahoma State, appearing in 30 career games and 219 snaps. He handled the long snapping duties for field goals, PATs and punts.
