The fall 2024 football season features a strong senior quarterback group in the Coastal Bend. That’s why we’re highlighting six seniors in our first-ever KRIS Super 6 Showcase, a combine-like environment that will air Aug. 22 at 6:30 p.m. on KRIS 6.
Miller’s Trevor Long, one of the six seniors selected, will be leading the Buccaneers as the varsity starting quarterback for the second year in-a-row. As a sophomore he shared the role.
“I just feel like it’s such a proud badge of honor on me to say that I’m a Buccaneer,” Long said.
Then last year, in UIL 5A-DI the Buccaneers fell short in the fourth round of playoffs to Brownville Veterans Memorial 35-28. Now as a senior, Long and the Bucs will compete in 5A-DII.
“When you look at a football player at the next level, a guy who has the skillset and the book smarts to go with it, that’s Trevor Long,” Justen Evans, Miller football head coach, said.
Miller football, known to a few as Wide Receiver University, has also produced quarterbacks. 6-foot-2 Long recently broke the program’s single-season passing touchdowns record as a junior, following in his mentor Andrew Body’s footsteps.
