Baylor OL Derek Long: a veteran-size anchor with legit trench pedigree
Derek Long is listed as a Baylor offensive lineman, but the public trail is thin on 2026 game-by-game impact, so the clearest takeaway is his profile: a large interior/line prospect with power-build traits and the kind of depth-chart value that matters in the Big 12 trench wars. Recruiting-era listings pegged him as a 6-4, 310-pound interior offensive lineman from Celina, which fits a mauling, phone-booth style more than a finesse one. If you need mass, developmental upside, and a player who can help you survive November football, he’s the type worth circling.
