Colorado State sophomore linebacker Owen Long has been named a third-team All-American by the Associated Press, the organization announced Monday.
Long is the 13th Colorado State player to be recognized by the AP and it is the second consecutive season a Ram has been honored by the organization, with center Jacob Gardner named to the third team last year.
His 151 tackles led the nation, a figure which ranks seventh on CSU’s list for a single season. He added a pair of sacks, five tackles for loss, forced a fumble and defended five passes.
Long opened the season with a 13-tackle effort against Washington, which began a run of six games with double-digit tackles, a string that culminated with a career-best 17 stops in a win over Fresno State. He posted 10 games with at least 10 tackles, capped by him matching his career-best total against Air Force.
Only four CSU defenders have been recognized by the group, with Greg Myers being the most recent in 1995 when he was named to the first team and won the Jim Thorpe Award. Defensive lineman Mike Bell was named to the second team twice (1977-78), with linebacker Jeff Harper earning honorable mention recognition in 1982.
The last time any CSU defender earned All-America recognition from a group was 2023, when Mohammed Kamara was named to the second team by both the Football Writers Association of America and Phil Steele.
Long was also a first-team All-Mountain West selection and earned first-team All-American Group of 5 honors from Hero Sports.
