The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Long gone

Well, for this season, at least. Deon Long is off to Chatham, Va., and time well spent at Hargrave Military Academy.

Long’s latest test score came in and wasn’t high enough to combine with his GPA and satisfy the NCAA’s freshman eligibity requirements. He will instead enroll at Hargrave (Va.) Military Academy. Long will enroll at WVU when he completes the necessary work.

Long, a 6-foot, 180-pounder from Washington, D.C., caught 95 passes for 2,072 and 22 touchdowns in three seasons at Dunbar High. He’ll have more chances to take the SAT — and make the NCAA Eligibility Center subsequently suspicious — and could possibly enroll at WVU in January as a grayshirt and get a useful jump on the 2010 season.
