The kid’s parent is a well respected financial advisor and I’m wondering whether to trust them with a large family estate. Honesty matters to me.

That is some next level cyber stalking.

I’d call it due diligence. I was interested in what position they played though.

If it is a Spring sport it is entirely possible that they haven't updated the roster yet.

For a Spring Sport, the 25 roster was last year. For example, https://athletics.amherst.edu/sports/mens-lacrosse/roster

most college athletes do not complete 4 years playing the sports.

Yes, similar to what I noted (2025 roster posted with Spring 2025 data). This is the OP. It is not Amherst, next tier down.

Short answer here is no, a roster is whoever is on the team. Most likely the player quit or for whatever other reason is no longer part of that team.

They’re not on the spring 2025 roster but their LinkedIn says Lacrosse Spring 2025. Let’s see what happens in 2026
