Name: Greg Tarr
Height: 6’2″
Weight: 220 lbs.
High school: Washington (MI) Romeo
Position: Long snapper
Class: Sixth year senior
Jersey number: #45
Last year: I ranked Tarr #51 and said he would be a backup long snapper (LINK). He played in two games.
TTB Rating: N/A
For two seasons in a row, I can basically write the same thing:
Last year I predicted Tarr to be the backup long snapper, and he played in two games.
Rinse, wash, repeat.
It seems like Tarr has been in Ann Arbor forever, and in fact, his career started in 2020.
That's so far in the past that a guy named Donald Trump was president of the United States when Tarr first set foot on campus.
Crazy, right?
What in the name of Grover Cleveland is going on here?!?!?!
Anyway, Tarr stepped in for an injured Will Wagner all the way back in 2022 and started nine games. He did a mighty fine job, and yet he has barely played the past two years.
It seems the 2025 season is everything Tarr has been waiting for since Cade McNamara yoinked the starting quarterback job from Joe Milton.
I assume Tarr is still good, because he was good and also Michigan's long snappers have been good. As others have said for a long time, the only time you really hear a long snapper's name is when something goes wrong, so let this be the last time you hear Tarr's name until the 6th round of the NFL Draft in 2026.
Prediction: Starting long snapper
I think we could replace our LS. But with the loss of The Gifts, 3-4 rotating DTs and 2-3 DEs are a much bigger deal to success ... even our 6th OL would. 6th DB too
