LIU’s low-usage guard with efficient touch and local-rooted upside
In the 2024-25 season, Gavin Pendergast gave LIU a small but efficient backcourt spark, appearing in 6 games and averaging about 0.7 points in roughly 2.7 minutes per game while shooting 66.7% from the field[5][7]. At 6-foot-4 and 185 pounds, he brings a solid guard frame, plus a family-athlete pedigree and a steady, team-first profile that earned NEC Winter Academic Honor Roll recognition[5][11]. He’s not a volume producer yet, but if a roster wants size, efficiency, and development upside from a guard, he’s a name worth keeping on the board[5][7].
