a depth-piece wideout with game reps, academic discipline, and a proven work ethic
Long is currently listed on The Citadel’s 2025 roster as a junior wide receiver, and his recent value is more about reliability and development than box-score production: he appeared in 10 games in 2024 after seeing action in eight games in 2023, while The Citadel lists no receiving statistics for 2025. His background points to a steady, team-first profile—he earned SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll recognition at Vanderbilt and played high-school football at Fellowship Christian School. For a staff, he looks like a low-drama, coachable fit who can help in special teams, depth roles, and practice competition rather than as an immediate headline target.[2][5]
