Exit Scott Sypniewski
According to his Twitter bio, Michigan long snapper Scott Sypniewki won’t be returning to the program for his redshirt senior season in 2017. Sypniewski has been Michigan’s starting long snapper since 2014, appearing in 34 games over the past three seasons. Redshirt sophomore PWO Andrew Robinson appears to be next in line to take over as Michigan's starting long snapper.
Sypniewski’s departure leaves Michigan with 25 available scholarships. They have 26 recruits currently committed; with the usual expected (and unexpected) offseason attrition, the 32-man class we’ve heard rumblings about seems feasible from the perspective of available scholarships.

May all your future snaps be long and true.

Don't forget it was his low snap that started the series of events that led to the most disastrous play in Michigan Football history. The punter still should have handled it, but the low snap in a pressure situation gave the punter just one more thing to deal with. If Snypiewski had just pumped it in at the right spot at the end of the MSU game last year, the punter would have routinely and easily handled it, and we would have won the game.
Sometimes in a pressure situation, one mistake starts it, and it leads to another.
