When long snapper Avery Salerno left Jackson State after two seasons with the Tigers and entered the transfer portal “it was more about the educational side of it,” he said “Jack State didn’t have my major and I talked to the coaches about it and they respected it Public administration is why Salerno committed to the Arizona Wildcats last week becoming the second long snapper to join the Wildcats along with All-American Broden Molen from Montana Arizona “had exactly what I wanted in the masters program,” Salerno said “That was the most important thing,” he added “The coaches were phenomenal and I wanted to go to a program that was on the rise and a team that I could help win immediately I wanted to make an impact on the team immediately and help them win.” is striving for two pathways after he’s done playing football: working for the U.S Department of Homeland Security and coaching football Salerno has “a lot of family friends involved in (Homeland Security) and it just always caught my eye growing up,” he said “It has always been an interesting thing to me,” Salerno said they’re guys who aren’t in the spotlight and are behind the scenes They get all the dirty work done and it’s always been interesting to me.” Salerno said “it usually takes two years to get hired by Homeland Security.” I want to get into coaching,” said Salerno “If my eligibility runs out sooner than what we want they’re going to help me find a (graduate assistant) spot somewhere or find a spot on the staff at Arizona “I didn’t see myself coaching until I started helping these kids It brought a different type of feeling and I’ve never felt this type of feeling before Salerno played the last two seasons at Jackson State in the post-Deion Sanders era after starting his career at Chowan University Arizona landed its second long snapper this offseason after Jackson State transfer Avery Salerno committed to the Wildcats Salerno joined “Spears & Ali” on ESPN Tucson this past week to talk about joining Arizona his long-snapping journey and playing at Jackson State How was your official visit to the UA last week I grew up with 100% humidity almost every single day I never felt so hot but so cool at the same time I love the coaching staff and I just fell in love on the spot.” How was it getting to know first-year special teams coordinator Craig Naivar and what kind of coach is he the coaches who had the most energy stood out to me and helped me more and developed me as a player My dad (Tony Salerno) was a long snapper at Florida State in the Bobby Bowden era so I was thrown into that role during Pop Warner I started taking it serious around eighth or ninth grade I played linebacker throughout high school but it became a world of its own after my junior year I started to get recruited for linebacker and long snapper How much did your father influence your long-snapping journey He has pushed me to be where I’m at today and I’m forever grateful for it He’s had the experience of playing at the level I wanted to be at He was a great mentor and I couldn’t have asked for a better dad.” Have you had any blunders or memorable snaps in a crucial point of a game A: “I’ve been blessed to say I haven’t had many bad snaps but my last bad snap was probably in high school We were in the playoffs and we were down by a touchdown The worst feeling of my life was when I snapped the ball and I started running he doesn’t even have the ball yet?’ I turn around and it’s in the back of the end zone The whole town will shut down (for a game) little stadium but we usually fit about 4,000 or 5,000 per game I started dating this girl at Jackson (State) and I’ve been doing a lot more deep-sea fishing I won’t be doing deep-sea fishing at Arizona How was it being at Jackson State during the post-Coach Prime era Everyone thought it was going to be the same product Taylor finally got the players he wanted for the second season and we won the HBCU national championship We got to play in the Atlanta Falcons stadium in front of 40,000 people To win an HBCU national championship and bring it home to Jackson It was a great feeling to see the fans celebrate with us and walk with us through all of the trials and errors.” How was the culture at Jackson State during your time there A: “The first thing I heard on my recruiting visit was ‘You gotta listen to the marching band.’ It is something else The culture wasn’t much different than any other college campus It was a great environment and everybody was really nice The fans are amazing and the city of Jackson falls behind the university what’s your favorite southern food and what’s one food you’ll miss One thing that shocked me when I went over there I got over to Arizona and I asked for a sweet tea Contact Justin Spears, the Star’s Arizona football beat reporter, at jspears@tucson.com Respond: Write a letter to the editor | Write a guest opinion Subscribe to stay connected to Tucson.

Will Yeatman and Charles Yates of the Pacific Legal Foundation query if VanDerStock is an "accidental landmark." I didn't realize that DOJ lawyers were already pushing Salerno as a Chevron alternative: The Salerno standard is another Chevron replacement that has been shopped by the government in the wake of Loper Bright last year in a challenge brought by Pacific Legal Foundation (where we work) to a 2023 Environmental Protection Agency and Department of the Army Clean Water Act regulation the Justice Department invoked the "no set of circumstances"standard as a reason for that challenge to fail the Salerno approach is unique among these Chevron substitutes in that the "no set of circumstances" framework is far more favorable to the government than even Chevron ever was For practitioners and scholars of administrative law the crucial concrete result from VanDerStok is that the Court linked APA § 706(C) with facial review the Justice Department is on the hunt for alternatives to Chevron in a post-Loper world we can expect government lawyers to more freely argue for facial review of an agency's statutory interpretations under the "no set of circumstances" test the lower courts have a green light to uphold all manner of regulations without uttering the shibboleth of Chevron It is like Lee Optical deference for the APA: a future scenario where the Supreme Court conclusively interprets APA § 706(2)(A) or (C) to require facial review Because this "no set of circumstances" test is nearly impossible to pass judicial review would be unavailable as an effective matter such a reading of § 706 would obviate Abbott Laboratories v the seminal 1967 decision on ripeness that unlocked the door to pre-enforcement review under the APA This is not so far-fetched a scenario: it is and at least a couple of circuit courts already seem open to the idea Is this really what Justice Gorsuch intended the Court offered some limits on its majority opinion Yeatman and Yates doubt that the majority really thought things through: for the Court to "create[] a far more powerful deference doctrine" after just ditching the Chevron doctrine the legal arguments in favor of Defense Distributed have been scoffed at the courts have refused to engage with our actual positions judges on all sides of the spectrum mischaracterize the record toy with rules about venue and jurisdiction There is just such an irrational fear of people making their own firearms that even the most ardent opponents of the administrative state will shrug Get a daily brief of the most important stories and trends every weekday morning when you subscribe to Reason Roundup Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Josh Blackman is a constitutional law professor at the South Texas College of Law Houston and the President of the Harlan Institute.
