Montana senior long snapper Matthew O'Donoghue is one of just 20 student-athletes from both the FCS and FBS football ranks named to the Special Teams U All-American Watch List, the organization recently announced.
Inclusion on the watch list recognizes him as one of the best long snappers in the country, and is based on technical ability snapping the ball, athletic ability, character, and NFL readiness.
O'Donoghue, a senior from Santa Ana, California, earned Montana's starting snapping job as a freshman in 2017. A consensus All-American in 2019, he has been consistently reliable throughout his career, logging zero bad snaps in 144 attempts as a junior.
Heading into his senior season, he was named a preseason 1st-team All-American and earned preseason All-Big Sky honors from Phil Steele Magazine.
O'Donoghue is one of 13 Grizzlies to earn a preseason accolade in the leadup to the 2020 season.
