Mathies Long is a young Oklahoma State safety with early tackling production and developmental upside
Mathies Long has shown early-season activity for Oklahoma State at safety, with 3 solo tackles in ESPN’s current player stats and 11 total tackles listed by The Football Database, suggesting a role built on willingness to get involved and support the run. [1][2] He profiles as a dependable, physical defensive back rather than a flashy ball-hawk right now, since the available stat line shows tackles but no interceptions, pass breakups, or forced fumbles yet. [1][2] For a team looking for an energy player who can grow into a more complete coverage piece, Long is worth tracking; the current data points to effort, approachability for development, and room to expand his impact.
