Long collected 65 tackles while appearing in 13 games during his freshman season in 2016. The 5-foot-11, 230-pound Long posted a career-best 11 tackles in a loss to Miami in the Russell Athletic Bowl.

West Virginia, which opens the season against Virginia Tech on Sept. 3, is hopeful that Long will return by Oct. 7 for its road clash with Texas Christian.
