Isaiah Longino brings veteran edge production and disruptive backfield presence to Northwestern State
Longino has shown he can be more than a hold-the-line DE: in Northwestern State’s six-game spring slate, he posted 11 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and 2 sacks, and he was also active enough to record a QB hurry against Southern Miss in 2022.[1][3] At 6-1, 275, he projects as a compact, physical edge defender whose value comes from leverage, effort, and backfield disruption rather than pure size.[4][2] The biggest reason to care: he has already proven he can bounce back from a long road to leader status and deliver impact plays, which makes him a strong fit for a team needing toughness and dependable rotational pressure off the edge.[1]
