Jacob Bobenmoyer (born May 28, 1997) is an American professional football long snapper for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Northern Colorado.

Early years and college career

Bobenmoyer attended Cheyenne East High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he played tight end and linebacker. After suffering a foot injury in high school, Bobenmoyer practiced long snapping drills in place of workouts.[1] At Northern Colorado, he played linebacker in addition to long snapper. He won the starting long snapper job at Northern Colorado as a freshman after he told his friend that he could snap better than the Bears starter and the friend told the coaches that "Jacob Bobenmoyer could snap".[2] He was named to Phil Steele's Football Championship Subdivision All-American team in 2018 as a long snapper.[3]
