local freshman with LIU roots and room to pop
In the 2025 season, Ethan Fingall is listed on LIU’s football roster as a freshman from Hempstead, N.Y., and the main takeaway is upside: he brings local ties, a broad background in varsity football, lacrosse, and track, and the kind of multi-sport edge coaches tend to love[1][2]. LIU’s roster bio says he was a Uniondale High School honor-roll and principal’s-list student, captained his team as a senior, and comes from a business-major, family-first background—nice indicators of competitiveness and coachability[1]. He’s a developmental watch, not a stat-sheet headline yet, but that’s exactly why he’s interesting for a program looking for grit, athleticism, and future depth[1][2].
