There is an old adage which was adapted into a song lyric the gist of which was when you’re hot, you’re hot! When KPGFootball hears that particular phrase, we think of the famous 1971 country single written and performed by Jerry Reed which spent five weeks at the top of the chart. However, we are convinced the sentiment of one’s being hot being attributable to a seemingly boundless run of success predated the Jerry Reed lyric. We probably wouldn’t bet on it, but that is what we think anyway.
While we may not be able to bet on the exact origins of one’s being hot meaning one is on quite run of success, that doesn’t mean we don’t know hot when we are seeing it. Man, Treyveon Longmire is hot, white hot, right now. Or, to put it another way, this is a prospect whose stock is soaring in an upward direction.
For the uninformed, Treyveon Longmire is a class of 2022 prospect from the Corbin Redhound program. How hot is he? Well, he was selected to the KPGFootball freshman All-State team at the conclusion of 2018, and has picked up two FBS, power-5 conference offers from Kentucky (SEC) and Louisville (ACC). Most folks, Jerry Reed included, would have to consider that pretty darn hot.
Treyveon Longmire, who is 6-2 and weighs 165 or so pounds, had quite a freshman campaign. Longmire carried the football 69 times and gained 611 yards with 4 rushing TDs playing for a team which played for the Class 3A, State Football Championship and lost by only a single point after having beaten, in the semis, the defending State Champion, Boyle County, 21-0. At the time Corbin and Boyle played, Boyle had rung up 25 straight wins.
Our all-State selection committee believed Longmire was the most impressive running-back, in either the 2021 or 2022 class, from out of the backfield in the throw and catch game. Treyveon, a freshman running back playing on a team which favored pounding the rock much more than passing it, still caught 20 balls for 534 receiving yards with 7 TD receptions. Longmire scored 72 points and played in all 15 games for a team which doesn’t usually play freshmen and is easily one of the most storied and successful in Kentucky High School football.
Longmire, while only a freshman, accounted for 1,145 total yards on offense with 11 TDs tallied either on the ground or through the air. In his offseason, awaiting his sophomore campaign, Treyveon has done nothing other than stock-pile a post season All-State designation with two Power 5 offers to play football in two of the most prestigious conferences in all of the FBS. Moving from the temperature comparisons toward the stock market, we believe this prospect is not only white-hot but his stock seems to be ever-soaring as we come upon Spring Practices opening all over the commonwealth.
Reporting for KPGFootball, this is F.W. Long reminding all of the ballers out there that #WeGotUCovered and to PLAY THROUGH THE WHISTLE.
