LIU freshman linebacker Phyre Quick brings a compact, active frame and fresh upside
In the 2026 season, Phyre Quick is listed as a 5-foot-11, 196-pound freshman linebacker for LIU, with ESPN identifying him as an active player on the Sharks’ roster. He looks like a developmental defender with a smaller, twitchy build for the position, which can translate well to speed, pursuit, and special-teams value. The big question is playing time and production, since publicly available game-log data is sparse, but that also means there’s room for a rising role if his instincts and physicality pop on tape.
