DeLong played in 12 in the past two seasons, 5 of which were in 2019.

In his career, he has recorded 26 punts for 881 yards, and averaged 33.9 yards per punt. 7 punts landed inside the 20 yard line, and 2 punts were 50+ yards.

He was eventually replaced by freshman Ty Perine who went on to be named to the SEC All-Freshman Team.

Nick Saban did comment on DeLong during Alabama’s 2019 A-day game:

“See, nobody wants to talk about the punter. But that guy was a freshman last year, aight, and he was like very, very nervous. And he’s gotten a lot better. And people should believe in development. Everybody wants an immediate outcome instead of focusing on what you have to do to get an outcome.”
