Rafael Fasolino is a tackling-volume linebacker who keeps showing up for LIU
Rafael Fasolino has been a steady, productive linebacker for LIU, highlighted by a 2024 season with 50 tackles in 10 games and an early-2025 surge that put him among the NEC leaders in tackles and tops in tackles for loss. His value is reliability: he diagnoses plays quickly, finishes consistently, and can impact games with both run defense and occasional pass breakup production. LIU’s own notes also show academic consistency and a multi-year role, which suggests a high-floor fit for teams wanting a disciplined, hard-nosed defender rather than a splashy athlete.
