Meet middle linebacker/halfback Kameron Snyder. Snyder, originally from Cedar Springs, is one of the rookies on the team this year. Having played football and wrestled in school, Snyder brings a lot of heart and leadership to the team. He is also a mixed martial artist.

Snyder’s idols include Barry Sanders; UFC fighter Georges St. Pierre; undefeated collegiate and US Olympic wrestler Cael Sanderson; and USA wrestling Hall of Famer Dan Gable. When he is not laying big hits on the football field, Snyder enjoys spending as much time as possible with his newborn son; participating in MMA, and being outdoors.

When asked what Snyder brings to the team, owner/head coach David Lange had this to say: “Kam has heart and he’s got power. He’s the kind of guy every coach wants on their team. He looks at everything as a challenge, as an opportunity to get better.”

When asked why he wanted to be a member of the West Michigan Hawks, Snyder has a very encouraging reason. “I wanted to be a West Michigan Hawk because I want to be someone for the younger, troubled generations in Cedar to look up to or come to if ever in need of anything, and also to show them that there is hope to change your outlook on life if you are ever struggling.”

To this point on the season, Snyder is leading the team in solo tackles.

Snyder and the West Michigan Hawks will be in action again this Saturday, when the team travels to Detroit to take on the Motor City Jaguars. Both teams will be searching for their first win of the season. Everyone is invited to travel with the team to cheer on the Hawks, as they make their way into enemy territory!
