Nate Long brings walk-on grit and steady-special-teams value to Tulsa
In the 2024 season, Tulsa placekicker Nate Long appeared in one game and has built his case more on reliability, resilience, and upside than on a long stat sheet. A walk-on who reportedly never played football before joining Tulsa, he brings a rare backstory, academic recognition, and the kind of underdog toughness coaches love in a specialist. If your team wants a kicker with strong intangibles, low-maintenance depth, and a story that says “bet on development,” Long is exactly that kind of fit.
