Zach Esau may not be the sexiest signing the Valley Huskers made this offseason, but he may be one of the most important.

The Winnipeg native is a long-snapping specialist, and a very good one at that.

His presence will allow the Huskers to avoid some of the special teams snafus that have killed them in years past, like snaps sailing over the head of the punter or bouncing at his feet.
