Vermont Coyotes Sign Lavon Long!

Lavon Long is a 6'7" guard/forward from Baltimore, Maryland who brings size, versatility, and high-level experience to the Vermont Coyotes roster. He first made a name for himself at Siena College, where he quickly established himself as one of the program’s most reliable players. During his time with the Saints, he earned MAAC All-Freshman honors and developed into a well-rounded contributor, ranking among the conference leaders in scoring, rebounding, assists, and field goal percentage. Known as a tough, physical player who could impact the game on both ends of the floor, Long became a matchup problem with his ability to rebound like a forward while handling the ball and creating offense like a guard. His career included several memorable performances, including a dominant 25-point, eight-assist game against Canisius, where he became the first Division I player in 15 years to make at least seven field goals and 11 free throws in a game without a miss, as well as multiple double-doubles against top MAAC opponents.

After college, Long continued his career overseas, playing professionally in Germany with the Hebeisen White Wings Hanau in the ProA league, where he showcased his skills against some of Europe’s toughest competition. His international experience sharpened his game and added to his reputation as a versatile and dependable presence on the court. Now, Long is set to begin a new chapter in his career by joining the Vermont Coyotes of the ABA, where he will bring leadership, experience, and a proven ability to perform at a high level. His combination of size, strength, and skill will make him an exciting addition for Coyotes fans as the team continues building toward its inaugural season.
