Jahari Long is George Mason’s steady, high-IQ backcourt engine
In the 2025-26 season, Jahari Long emerged as a full-time starter for George Mason, averaging 12.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists while shooting 45.4% from the field and 37.7% from three, with a strong 82.6% at the line. He’s the kind of guard coaches love: experienced, efficient, and poised, with enough scoring pop to flip a game and enough playmaking to keep an offense humming. At 6-foot-5, he brings size, maturity, and two-way versatility, and his breakout year suggests a reliable fit for teams that want a composed veteran who can run the show without hijacking it.
