Recruitment Recap: Long committed to the previous Syracuse staff over the summer following an official visit. He picked the Orange over power five opportunities from Pitt and West Virginia. However, a coaching change at Syracuse made things uncertain. After speaking with Fran Brown, Long felt like Syracuse was still the right spot. An official visit further solidified that feeling.
Evaluation: Braheem Long is a good athlete at corner who plays with a high level of confidence. He backpedals well and has good change of direction. A bit on the smaller side, Long needs to work on getting stronger in order to deal with physical wide receivers at the ACC level. Long will also have to work on tackling technique in order to help with run support. Still, Long has a lot of upside as a cover corner. He can play on the boundary or in the slot and gives the Orange some versatility from that standpoint.
