a veteran LIU back with proven burst and a little Shark Nation folklore
Tim Marinan was a productive senior back for LIU in 2019, starting all 10 games and rushing for 202 yards on 79 carries while adding 15 catches for 115 yards, including a season-high 61 rushing yards against Sacred Heart.[2][5] His calling card was versatility and toughness: he could handle workhorse touches, contribute as a receiver, and even pop up in the kind of creative, high-energy moment that earned him a Monday Night Football shoutout for a clever lead-blocking play.[6] He looks like the kind of back who brings grit, reliability, and a little chaos in the best way—useful if you want a steady complementary runner who does the dirty work and keeps defenses honest.[2][6]
