MANHEIM, Pa. — When Gunnar Royer graduated from Manheim Central High School, he had several Division 1 walk-on offers to play football.

With out of state tuition constantly on the rise, Royer would head to IUP where he was a long snapper for the Crimson Hawks.  

Whether he was in practice or attending a Kohl's Professional Camp, his dream to play D1 football remained.

Baylor University was in immediate need of a long snapper after theirs graduated this past year.  The Bears reached out to Royer in February and now the Lancaster County native is Waco, Texas bound this fall.
