Kicker Ty Long is known as a tough guy around the UAB football program

"...When he wasn't working out with the team, Long was working on his kicking skills at a camp in Prattville run by Mike McCabe, a former All-America punter at Illinois State and current Prattville High kicking coach. It was more than two weeks of working out, running, kicking, working on fundamentals and studying the craft. Most of all, though, it was more than two weeks of competing with about 30 other college kickers...."
