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.
