Oklahoma State has hired former FootballScoop Special Teams Coordinator of the Year Sean Snyder to its special teams staff, the program announced Wednesday.
Snyder will coach Oklahoma State's kickers and punters.
“Sean brings years of experience with kickers and punters and special teams concepts,” Mike Gundy said Wednesday. “We’re really excited about what he brings to our coaching staff.”
Snyder played for his father at Kansas State, where he booted his way to the All-American team in 1992 by averaging 44.7 yards per punt. He left K-State as the school's all-time record holder, clearing 43 yards per punt.
He was K-State's DFO from 1994-2010 before moving on field in 2011, where he instantly became one of the top special teams coaches in the nation. Prior winners selected him the FootballScoop Special Teams Coordinator of the Year in 2015, and Phil Steele bestowed his own honor upon him in '15 and 2017.
Snyder coached special teams at USC in 2020-21, at Illinois in 2022, and he served as the special assistant to head coach Lance Leipold at rival Kansas in 2023.
Snyder left Kansas in January to start a private kicking and coaching business.
