Expert Analysis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

2029 RB Tyler Long is another young Huntington prospect who looks primed for a strong future. After catching attention on freshman JV film, he backed it up this spring during the 7v7 season with the kind of athleticism that stands out quickly in person. Long may still be waiting his turn in a talented running back room, but the upside is there, and it’s easy to see why people around the program are excited about him. His movement skills should translate well during combine work and individual drills, and he has the versatility to create problems on either side of the ball during 1-on-1s. Long could be a tough matchup for linebackers in space, and there’s enough defensive ability there to make DB reps interesting too if he elects.
