In 1958, DeLong graduated from Balboa High School in San Francisco, California where he was a 1958 All State/San Francisco Section soccer player.[1] He is a member of the San Francisco Prep Hall of Fame.[2] In 1968, he played nine games for the Vancouver Royals of the North American Soccer League.[3] That year, he also earned six caps with the U.S. national team. His first game came in a 3-3 tie with Israel on September 15, 1968. He was also in goal for the 4-0 loss to Israel ten days later.[4] He played three 1970 FIFA World Cup qualification games that year, a loss to Canada on October 17 and two victories over Bermuda on November 2 and 10.[5][6]
