They Said It

• TKR Film Analyst Alec Simpson: “When watching Longerbeam's tape his speed is out right way. He has that speed that will put him in a position to close down on a receiver and make a play on a ball, while it is in the air. He also had eight interceptions this past season as a senior, which definitely puts him in that ballhawk category as a defensive back.

Right now Longerbeam definitely need to add some weight before being able to make big time tackles in this conference. He is currently listed at 160 pounds and at this level of football he needs to be somewhere around 195-pounds. With good weight being added to his wide frame, he will be able to drive dudes back 5 to 10 yards instead of arm tackling or waiting for his teammates to arrive to finish off the play. He also has solid length for a corner, but to make his game elite weight needs to be added the right way.”
