Bio

2023: Long turned in an impressive season up front for Carson-Newman's defensive line.  Long is the first Carson-Newman defensive lineman with a 50-tackle campaign since Montel Presley's All-SAC season in 2019.  Long, Presley and Javaris Neal have the only 50-tackle years by defensive lineman for the football program in the last decade.  Long finished the season with 52 tackles, 11 tackles for loss and 8.0 sacks.  He also forced four fumbles, sixth most nationally and the third-most for a single-season in school history.  His 8.0 sacks are tied for the 14th-most in a single season in school history.  The junior had a career-best 13-tackle day against Tusculum (Oct. 7), the first double-digit tackle performance by a C-N defensive lineman since 2016.  He found himself in the backfield frequently, making 3.0 tackles for loss against the Pioneers and 3.5 against Mars Hill (Oct. 21). Long forced fumbles against Virginia Lynchburg (Aug. 31), Tusculum, Mars Hill and UVA Wise (Nov. 4).

2022: Long started all 11 games at defensive end for C-N.  He accounted for 27 tackles, second most among C-N defensive linemen.  He also had 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and four QB hurries.  Long had a third of his tackles in the final three weeks of the year, when he strung together a five-tackle day at Emory & Henry (Oct. 29) with back-to-back four-tackle performances against UVA Wise (Nov. 5) and Catawba (Nov. 12).  He also had four tackles and a sack at Lenoir-Rhyne (Sept. 24).  

2021: Appeared in nine games on Carson-Newman's defensive line and made two starts.  Long notched 23 tackles witjh two stops for loss. He also had three quarterback hurries and a forced fumble.  Long topped out at six tackles on two occasions.  He had a sextet of stops at UVA Wise (9/25) and Newberry (10/23).  Long made 1.5 tackles for loss in the home finale against Limestone (11/6).
