3-star LB Bryan Longwell commits to Vanderbilt
Nashville (Tenn.) Lipscomb Academy three-star linebacker Bryan Longwell has announced his commitment to Vanderbilt. He announced the news over social media on Sunday.
Longwell is the No. 1,421 overall prospect and No. 141 linebacker in the 2023 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 39 player in Tennessee.
On3 rates Longwell higher than other recruiting services, according to the Industry Comparison. Even though he is not ranked in the 2023 On300, Longwell is the No. 126 linebacker and No. 34 player in Tennessee.
“Thank you to all the people that have provided the guidance and support to get me to this point,” Longwell wrote in a statement posted to Twitter. “Time to start writing the next chapter. Let’s get to work! Anchor Down.”
The 6-foot-1, 225-pound defender is one of four linebackers in Vanderbilt’s 2023 recruiting class. Austin (Texas) LBJ three-star Sedrick Alexander, Mount Juliet (Tenn.) three-star Ethan Crisp and Itta Bena (Miss.) Leflore County three-star Dante Kelly are the others.
Longwell has an On3 NIL Valuation of $12.4K. The On3 NIL Valuation is an index that looks to set the standard market value for both high school and college-level athletes. The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
