Braheem Long Commits to Syracuse
Class of 2024 Camden (NJ) High cornerback Braheem Long has committed to Syracuse following an official visit that took place Monday and Tuesday. Long, a 6-0, 170 pound athlete, picked the Orange over offers from Boston College, Pittsburgh, West Virginia and several others. Long also plays wide receiver in high school, but is expected to play in the secondary for Syracuse.
"It's a home away from home," Long said of his decision.
Long picked up an offer from Syracuse last September when he visited for the Orange's win over Virginia.
"The recruiting coach liked my film and my size," Long said after picking up the offer. "So after the game they offered me and it was just a very good feeling and experience."
At Camden High School, he previously played with Syracuse defensive back Alijah Clark.
Since offering last September, Syracuse has recruited Long very hard. He also took an unofficial visit this past April. Throughout the recruiting process, he bonded with the Orange coaches and players. That all culminated with this week's official visit that ultimately led to Long ending his recruitment.
Rivals rated Long as a three star prospect. He has not been evaluated, therefore rated, by 247Sports, ESPN or On3. Long is the 11th public commitment in Syracuse's 2024 recruiting class. He is also the second defensive back, joining Keystone State standout Clinton Robinson. Long is also the fourth player from New Jersey to publicly commit to the Orange, joining Trashon Dye, Travon Dye and Zekai Wimberly.
