Fort Hays State’ Brock Long gathered his third All-America honor for the 2015 season, named to the D2Football.com All-America Team. Long is a second-team selection at linebacker.
Long already earned All-America status on the D2CCA and AP Little All-America squads as a first team selection. Long had a tremendous senior year anchoring the Tiger defense at inside linebacker.
Long set a new school record for tackles in a season with 171, passing the former mark of 164 set by Alex Whitehill in 2011. But tackles were not the only category he soared in as he led the MIAA in tackles for loss, sacks, and forced fumbles at the end of the regular season. He finished the year with 21.5 tackles for loss, 10 sacks, and four forced fumbles to go with his massive tackle count. Long led the team in tackles in nine of the 12 games this season. He averaged 14.3 tackles per game and reached double figures in tackles 10 times.
Long ranks fifth on the career tackles list for the NCAA era at FHSU with 264, accomplishing the feat in just two years. He is tied for 10th on the career sacks (13.5) and career tackles for loss (26.0) lists at FHSU for the NCAA era. For single-season accomplishments at FHSU, he is now the record holder for tackles and tackles for loss, while tying for second in sacks.
