Hunter Long Named Associated Press All-American

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Boston College redshirt junior tight end Hunter Long was named to the Associated Press All-America second-team on Monday. Long becomes just the third tight end in Boston College history to be named to the prestigious All-American team.

Long joined Pete Mitchell (1993, 1994) and Mark Chmura (1991) as the only BC tight ends to be named to the AP All-America teams. Mitchell was named to the AP All-America first-team in 1994 and was a second-team All-American in 1993. Chmura garnered AP All-America second-team honors in 1991.

Long has been the top receiving tight end in the nation in 2020. The New Hampshire native leads all tight ends nationally in receptions (57) and receiving yards (685). He is eighth among all tight ends nationally with five touchdown receptions.

He finished second in Boston College single-season history for receptions by a tight end, trailing only Pete Mitchell's 66 receptions in 1993.

For his career, Long finished with 89 receptions for 1,297 yards and nine touchdowns.

Long led Boston College with 509 receiving yards in 2019. He finished the season with 28 receptions and two receiving touchdowns. His 72-yard touchdown reception at Louisville was the longest reception of his career a year ago.
