Butler TE Keith Long Jr. Shows Promise as Emerging Receiving Threat
Keith Long Jr. is a freshman tight end at Butler University who demonstrated his receiving prowess during the 2024 season with a standout performance against Brownsburg (8 catches, 123 yards, 2 TDs)[2]. Originally a wide receiver at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis[1], Long brings versatility and soft hands to the position—a rare combination for a young tight end. His ability to line up flexibly and create separation makes him an intriguing developmental prospect for Butler's offense. As a freshman still acclimating to college football, Long represents upside potential for teams seeking a pass-catching tight end with room to grow.
