Bryant Long brings long, disruptive edge presence to Portland State
Bryant Long is a Portland State defensive end with the frame and profile of a classic edge setter, listed at 6'4" and 245 pounds on the Vikings’ roster, and ESPN identifies him as #94 at DE for the 2026 season[1][2]. The strongest signal here is upside: he has the size to hold the edge and the length to affect passing lanes, but current public stat lines are limited, so the appeal is more about traits than box-score production[1]. If you need a developmental defender who can grow into a tough, physical role, Long looks like a reasonable fit—especially if your staff likes projectable athletes who can be coached up into a more consistent disruptor[1][2].
