Not sure, as I have black cherry on my property and the leaves aren't so long and narrow.

try prunus serotina.. the furniture cherry ... not the edible cherry ...

this looks a lot like the 50 million seedlings i have all over the yard from my serotina ... but w/o a scale its hard to be sure...

seed leaves are often different than leaves from a mature tree .. if for no other reason.. they are usually grow in too much shade.. under the huge momma tree ...

That looks like it could be a mountain laurel seedling (kalmia latifolia), if the leaves are leathery. They like acid soil, which is what you have there in the pine needles.
