About Hunter

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

Athlete, but first a Team Player. I can play where ever I am needed to help the team win. I can block, catch and run. I play a blocking and receiving TE, can play FB and Slot receiver. No issue's going over the middle. On the Defensive side of the ball I can play LB or DE, depending on set. I can cover the back out of the back field or the TE when he releases. I play all Special Team and LS

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

A very easy going, hard working kid. I play 3 sports and Varsity Lettered in all 3 my Freshman year. Football, Hockey, Track & Field. I work hard and play even harder.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I have received student of the month twice. I do charity work with the Hockey team for our High School.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I think during the last few years, I have grown into a complete Student- Athlete. 3.1 GPA, playing 3 Varsity Sports and excelling in all of them. I've learned to lean on my teammates when needed and been a great friend to them when needed. My goal is to be Captain of Both my Hockey and Football Teams my Jr & Sr years.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I've had a few minor injuries, that I have had to do some therapy and rehab. Nothing crazy, but even if I missed one practice I was chomping at the bit to get back on the field or ice. I love to compete and hang with my boyz !

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college that believes in my, trust me and wants to win. I want to get a good education and enjoy the college experience.

Long is a 6’1″ 220 pound blocking tight end.  Can line up in the traditional TE spot, H-Back, or even full back.  Physical blocker that moves bodies in the run game.

The lack of TE depth in the 2027 right now doesn’t mean that Providence Catholic’s TE Hunter Long Hunter Long Hunter Long 6'1" | 220 lbs | TE/LB Lincolnway East | 2027 State IL isn’t deserving of the current TE1 status. Long has a great multi-sport resume and earned three varsity letters as a freshman, coming from football, hockey, and track & field. Throwing shot put and discus, Long went 102-01 in the discus and 38-11.50 in the shot put, and Long can also long snap on special teams. He was used as a RB, TE, and DE in 2023, and the utility are another big bonus on his budding athletic resume. Long can finish catches through contact, break tackles with his impressive contact balance and strong lower body, and is confident and capable with the ball in-hand. He’s a tough kid who will go over the middle and reel in receptions through traffic, owns a big stiff-arm, and is a physical blocker. As a DE, the 210 lber. also posted a sack and forced a fumble on a big goal line stick in impressive fashion as well.
