Long was originally committed to Temple, but flipped to Rutgers just a few days after his main recruiter Fran Brown was hired by Greg Schiano back in early December 2019 as a member of the 2020 recruiting class. Long hailed from Willingboro High School and chose the Scarlet Knights over offers from Baylor, Boston College, Duke, Louisville, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, NC State, Pittsburgh, Temple, Wake Forest, West Virginia and several others.

During his five seasons as a Scarlet Knight, Long appeared in 32 games (8 starts) while hauling in 28 receptions for 391 yards and two touchdowns. He will have one year of eligibility remaining to play elsewhere.

seems like a bit of a reach. At buttgers 5 years and not much production.

If this was DB recruiting him then I’d say the same thing. I have no reason to question any player Fran is looking at.

NJ connection and former 4 star (247). According to this article, a string of injuries has held him back.

As for the 4 stars, is that a Rutgers 4 star? If you know what I mean.

Well, 5 years of a Neanderthal offense…

 

[CuseMan4]

Could be a reach, could be a hidden gem. I trust this staff. Respectfully to Jackson Meeks, I understand Georgia and Rutgers are not the same level but I didn’t think Jackson Meeks would do nearly as well as he did this year.

Also not the same staff but Amba in the Babers era, didn’t do much at Maryland at all. And just lit it up his last year here. This kid has the measurables, and speed. I’ll trust Fran

 

[sandman525]

Until proven otherwise, I will choose to trust Fran

I’m hoping Villari is this year’s Amba or Custis. So that spot is already taken!

Yes, only Doh!!!n had him as a 4 star.

 

[cali315phan]

He was an athlete coming out of HS. Could he find the field in our secondary maybe?

Or Jackson from Michigan St.

And Rutgers QBs throwing to him...

 

[anomander]

ehhhh

 

[RutgersAl]

Couldn’t shake the injury bug at Rutgers, but has the talent to excel as long as he stays healthy. Lack of quarterback accuracy was also a factor in his less than ideal numbers. Would easily be one of your Top 3 receivers, with a chance to be #1, if he stays healthy. He’s developed and ready to go.

Obviously I trust Fran, but I couldn't be less excited about a transfer option.

 

[ImperialOrange]

One year player who's fast, strong and has good hands. With a real offense and talented QB throwing to him he can put up numbers. Very least would give us speed over the top

Rutgers can’t even develop 35 mm film let alone a wide receiver. One of our top 3?!?! You are always good for a laugh I’ll give you that, then again so is the institution you cheer for.

Looking at our current roster with long being added in, where do you think he would be?
