Hall of Honor
Mickey Long played football at Angelo State from 1972-76. After graduating, he coached for a while before starting a highly successful career in the petroleum well servicing industry. He has remained a tremendous supporter of his alma mater, particularly the Athletics Department, and has been instrumental in accomplishing numerous athletics initiatives and projects. He is also a member of the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents, serving as chairman from 2013-16, and a member of ASU's Carr Academic Scholarship Foundation Board of Trustees. Long's love for Angelo State is as strong today as it was when he first graduated, and he continues to be personally involved in ASU's  commencement ceremonies each year. The ASU Alumni Association has named him a Distinguished Alumnus.
