Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
In his first three games of the season, Markel has made 20-plus tackles (five for a loss), forced two fumbles, and intercepted one pass. Long’s physical play stands out in the first few highlights, where his hits led to a couple of interceptions and fumbles. He gives Good Counsel’s defense a big advantage.

Read EvaluationTodd Haldis | Prep Redzone Scout
Markel makes his debut as the #12 overall DB in the class and should be part of a strong & deep DB room for GC this fall. Mainly used as a safety, he is a missile on the field and shows good athleticism and range. Markel moves well in space, can turn go and shows good instincts and ball skills. He is quick to accelerate out of breaks/COD and close on the ball to make a tackle or PBU. Markel currently holds one offer from Boston College and will be on plenty of colleges boards after the fall.
Extremely Blessed to receive my first D1 offer from Boston College #agtg #WeAreBC @gcfootball @GCFalconsAD @EdOBrienCFB @RivalsFriedman @BrianDohn247 @CraigHaubert @ChadSimmons_ @UANextFootball pic.twitter.com/rlcvezSwHx
