It’s time to start preparing for the 2026 Syracuse Orange football season. We’re going through the roster to take a look at each Syracuse player as we get to know a lot of new faces for Year 3 of the Fran Brown Era.
Up next is…
Name: Braheem Long, Jr
Position: Defensive Back
Year: Junior

Weight: 185 lbs.
Hometown: Camden, NJ

2025 stats:
Appeared in all 12 games, making four starts. Had 52 tackles, 2 sacks and an interception.
2026 projections:
Long is one of the most experienced
defensive backs and should be fighting for a spot at safety in camp. No matter what, he’ll continue to see a lot of time especially in nickel and dime packages.

Chose Syracuse over a number of offers including Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Temple, Akron, and Kent State.
What’d recruiting sites say?:
Three stars across the board. Top 50 player in NJ in his class.
