Read EvaluationRobert Davis | Prep Redzone Scout
Long is a player that is constantly causing chaos in the backfield and making it difficult on the offensive line. He has a quick first step and is able to use his speed to bend the edge and create pressure. He is a good open field tackler and does not miss tackles, being able to cut the ball carrier down in a hurry. He will be a sneaky under the radar player that will be on the stock-watch.
