long snapper VS Center?

Why is it a different position?

I remember Pally mentioning how the LS is so much lighter in weight and quicker, because they also need to run down the field and make tackles on punt attempts. Which is how Clark Harris got hurt in the first place. I notice that Adomitis is about 250 pounds (very light for a center) and has a number of tackles on his resume. 

So, it is not only a different skill set in terms of snapping the ball, but also the LS needs to be able to run fast and make tackles.
