Everybody loves a good longsnapper story.

During the quarantine earlier this year, Pepper dedicated most of his down time to staying in shape.

Pepper said he ran hills with teammate Brandon Bucker and trained with Kentrell Williams and Williams’ father who is a fitness trainer.

“We trained almost every day,” Pepper said. “We couldn’t really do much else.”

For long snapping, Pepper was recruited by Arkansas, Nevada, Virginia and Texas. As a linebacker, Pepper received offers from several Division II schools.

“He’s an unreal football player,” Chandler head coach Rick Garretson said. “(As a linebacker) he brings this demeanor and this energy to the position and to our defense. Hank has this time clock in his head to really time blitzes. He’s definitely made a huge impact for us at the linebacker position this year.”
