Cal defensive lineman Darius Long is declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft, he announced on X, formerly Twitter, Saturday. Long spent three seasons with the Bears after coming to Cal from the College of San Mateo.
Long played in nine games in 2021 as a junior and 11 games in 2022 before seeing action in seven games this past season.
He's the third Cal player to announce his intent to declare for this year's draft, with the others being wide receiver Brian Hightower and center Matthew Cindric. Linebacker Jackson Sirmon has not formally announced his intentions to declare, but made a post to suggest that he has done so.
The deadline to file the paperwork to declare is tomorrow, Monday Jan. 15.
