Drew Ferris (born January 1, 1992) is an American football long snapper who is currently a free agent. He played college football at the University of Florida.

Early years

Ferris was born in Carlsbad, California, and is Jewish.[1] His parents, Walt (a psychotherapist) and Pam Ferris (the chief executive officer of the non-profit Seacrest Village Retirement Community), did not allow him to play football until sixth grade.[1][2][3] Ferris started high school attending La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, California.[5]

He finished his last two years at San Diego Jewish Academy in San Diego, California, graduating in 2010.[4][5] While at San Diego Jewish Academy, Ferris was a two-way starter who played defensive end, offensive tackle, and middle linebacker in addition to long snapping.[8][6] On defense he had 77 tackles with 9.5 sacks and a fumble recovery, and on offense he ran six times for 21 yards and caught two balls for 13 yards.[7] He was rated a 5-star long snapper and ranked 14th in the nation by Chris Rubio Long Snapping.[8] He won the Coaches’ Award for hardest worker in Fall 2008, and was named to second-team All-Conference on offense and defense in Fall 2009.[8] Ferris also earned varsity letters in basketball (his junior and senior years; he averaged 5.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 42 games) and baseball (his senior year).[9][7] He was named to the San Diego Union Tribune All-Academic Team four times in high school.[8]

Ferris completed a Masters degree in the University of Florida’s Master of Business Management program in December 2015.[10][11]

College career

Ferris initially enrolled at San José State University to play football as a walk-on.[6] However, he then enrolled in September 2010 at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida, as a preferred walk-on where he was a member of coach Urban Meyer and coach Will Muschamp's Florida Gators football teams from 2010 to 2014, except that he missed all but one game in 2012 due to injury.[4][9][12] He became the first Division-I male athlete from his high school.[3] He was a long snapper in 38 games for the Gators.[13]

In 2010, he red-shirted as a freshman.[6] In 2011 he was the long snapper for both the field-goal and punt teams, playing in all 13 games, and was named to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) Academic Honor Roll.[8] In September 2012 he suffered a season-ending injury to his left collar-bone in the first game of the season.[1][6][3] In 2013 he was the team's primary snapper for punts and field goals, playing in all 12 games, and was again named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.[8] In 2014 he played in all 12 games as the Gators' longsnapper, recorded one tackle on special teams, and was again named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.[8]

Professional career

Ferris went to rookie minicamp with the New York Jets in 2015.[12]

Seattle Seahawks

On March 23, 2016, the Seattle Seahawks signed Ferris to their roster.[14] The following day the Seahawks waived their former long snapper Andrew East.[15] In May, the Seahawks signed Ferris to a three-year, $1.62 million contract.[34] Ferris was on the Seahawks' roster in the summer of 2016, and was released on August 4, 2016.[12]
