Jeremie McGurn gives LIU a physical, tackle-first presence at linebacker
McGurn is a depth-and-impact linebacker for LIU whose value shows up in the dirty work: he’s been credited with 7 tackles in a 2025 LIU win over Duquesne, signaling an active, assignment-sound defender who can help stabilize the middle of the defense.[19][17] The current public data set is thin, so the clearest differentiator is his role as a reliable, contact-forward piece rather than a box-score star.[17][1][2] If you want a linebacker who fits a defense built on effort, physicality, and consistent run support, he’s worth a closer look.[17][19]
