TelTel Long TelTel Long 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Greenwood | 2024 State KY jumped out to me last off-season and continued to show his talent this past season. He is an electric play maker on offense, lining up at multiple positions. Out of the backfield, Long finished the year with 122 carries for 869 yards and four touchdowns. He has great vision and has the speed to burst through the running lane and run away from the defense. Long also has the elusiveness in the open field to make defenders miss. He also showed the ability to line up at receiver, finishing the year with 26 receptions for 391 yards and four touchdowns. Long is an impressive route runner that creates separation easily while also being very dangerous after the catch. He also played a key role as a defensive back, finishing the year with 36 tackles, one tackle for loss, and one interception, and also returned one kickoff for a touchdown this season. It still surprises me that Long has yet to pick up an offer as he has the talent to play at the Division I level.

Coming in at the top spot is a player that I believe to be one of the most underrated players in the entire state. TelTel Long TelTel Long 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Greenwood | 2024 State KY is an explosive play maker that is very dangerous with the ball in his hands. He is coming off a solid sophomore season in which he ran the ball 110 times for 75o yards. He lines up in a slot back position and is used as a ball carrier from that spot. Long uses his speed to get around the edge and is very hard to catch once he turns up the field. He also has great vision in the open field as a ball carrier along with very impressive moves to make defenders miss. On defense, Long lines up at safety and does a great job of reading receivers and the quarterback when dropping into zone coverage. He uses his speed to cover ground quickly when the ball is in the air and has the ball skills to catch the ball at its highest point to come away with interceptions. Long doesn’t currently hold any offers but they should come soon as I believe he has the skill set to play at the Division I level.
