Langston Long brings veteran length, tackling range, and a nasty edge to Toledo's linebacker room
In the 2025 season, Langston Long gave Toledo 35 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and a forced fumble, and he entered 2026 as the Rockets’ most experienced returning linebacker. He’s a 6-foot-3, 225-pound senior with a long frame, downhill versatility, and a proven ability to find the football after stops at Virginia and South Florida. The bigger story: he’s battled through a foot injury in his career, yet still projects as a steady, high-floor defender with real SEC-style physicality. If a team wants toughness, maturity, and plug-and-play linebacker depth, Long fits the bill.
