Originally from Florida, Longerbeam played high school ball at T.C. Williams High in Alexandra, where his father, Jimmy, was his head coach. Longerbeam was a high school quarterback and practiced primarily at wide receiver as a freshman at Rutgers before making the move to cornerback.
Longerbeam was the Ravens’ second cornerback taken on Day 3 after Baltimore selected Bilhal Kone (Western Michigan) earlier in Round 6 (No. 178 overall). With Nate Wiggins, Marlon Humphrey, and new addition Chidobe Awuzie as the presumed starters, Longerbeam and Kone will provide depth alongside T.J. Tampa and Jalyn Armour-Davis.
