Blake Ferguson

Blake Ferguson (Long Snapper)

Long Snapper Blake Ferguson's great grandfather, a WWII Navy veteran, first inspired his deep appreciation for the military. In college at Louisiana State University, Blake became best friends with Kiley Greathouse, an Air Force veteran. Since being drafted by the Miami Dolphins in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Blake has expressed enthusiasm for all team military initiatives. Limited primarily to virtual appearances in 2020 due to COVID-19 precautions and protocols, Blake continues to be vocal on social media in his appreciation for our military service members and the sacrifices made by military families. In 2021, Blake looks forward to working closely with the Miami Dolphins the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) families and hosting his first military appreciation BBQ event for active duty and veterans in South Florida through Miami Dolphins Football Unites military partners. Blake has many family members who served in the military including both of his grandfathers (Jim Seale and Robert Ferguson), as well as his great uncle (Jerry Seale), and great grandfather (Howard Seale).
