Another Play Tough 2028 who debuts in this rankings update is Longnecker. Jacob brings some nice size and athleticism on the wing, allowing him to get to the rim and make some plays defensively. His perimeter shot is in a good spot right now, but that is the attribute that will determine how far he can go in the future. I’m excited to track Jacob with a fresh start at Philip Simmons this winter.

This wing submitted his tape from his time with 843 Tough over the summer. Jacob is a wing with solid positional size and athleticism. His game is built around getting to the rim right now, but he is a capable perimeter shooter and will make plays defensively. As Longnecker’s three-point shooting volume and consistency improve, it will take his game to the next level and really get him on the radar of college coaches.

Jacob Longnecker Jacob Longnecker 6'4" | SF Philip Simmons | 2028 State SC leads off the evaluations from Team 1. He’s got a nice game on the wing, combining some good size, athleticism, and shooting to be an all-around threat. When he’s knocking down shots consistently, he’s got a confident, quick stroke that is really effective in spreading the floor.
