Hey, so I stumbled across this whole thing with Emory Snyder, who just decided to throw his lot in with West Virginia. It’s pretty wild, right? I mean, here’s this guy from Bixby, Oklahoma—ever been? I haven’t, but I hear it’s got a vibe—just committing to WVU, and they’re all like, “yeah, we could probably use him pretty much anywhere in the back seven.” I can’t quite wrap my head around it. Like, they see him doing all sorts of crazy stuff on the field—it’s kinda like watching a Swiss Army knife, just doing its thing.
Now, let’s talk about this for a second: Snyder’s been out there catching balls on offense, turning heads, right? And defensively, he’s snagging six interceptions. Absurd. He’s all over the place; cornerback, safety, linebacker—you name it, he’s probably dabbled in it this past fall in 2024, which is, uh, nuts.
Oh, and then there’s this 247Sports stuff—they slapped him with this high three-star 87 rating. My first thought? What even is that rating scale? To me, he’s the kind of guy who could morph into this hybrid nickel/linebacker thing WVU needs, assuming that’s a thing. And get this, he’s got track experience too, bustin’ out a 6-foot high jump or something. Can you even imagine? I can’t jump over a puddle without getting my socks wet.
Speaking of programs, Bixby’s like the big cheese in Oklahoma right now, just winning all the shiny trophies. They snagged the Class 6A-I state title last fall. And Snyder? Well, he’s out there with those crazy physical gifts—seriously, dude’s athletic—and he’s got this knack for lining up against mid-skill opponents, matching them step for step. Honestly, it seems like he could be this super reliable guy for WVU, like once he gets the playbook down or whatever. Might take time—who knows?
Anyway, that’s the latest on Snyder. Isn’t it wild how a kid from a place I can’t even point out on a map could just become a football chameleon under the bright lights of college ball? Nuts, right?
