Liam Thomas Clarke is a character in Glee: The Next Generation.  (Season 5, Episode 3). 

He is portrayed by Daniel Sharman. 

Liam is a member of the Mckinley High Eagles (the soccer team), and New Directions and plays as a Striker, which according to both guys and girls, is both an accurate decsription of both his sporting position, and his looks.

Girls hold little sway with this particular WMHS student however though, as he has recently come out as gay, although is seen by many as "Straight-acting" is actually just himself. He is currently single.

Personality

Liam is a gay teenager who also has status as one of the lads amongst his peers; being gay is only incidental to his character. Several times Liam has alluded to having had many promiscuous relationships, however, he only did this to fit in, and in reality, has never even been kissed and secretly all he wants is a stable relationship and even despite his age, he feels an acute pressure for a relationship from his friends when in reality, his friends don’t really care whether or not he is a relationship so long as he is happy.

He is portrayed as a proficient at several styles of dance, including tap dance, although he prefers contemporary dance. He is also a brilliant artist and illustrator, and enjoys people watching and drawing what is going on around him which is why, in what little spare time he does have, he can be found wherever there are large groups of people observing them. He also enjoys this as it allows him a form of escapism from his life and problems. He is also extremely flirty, however he knows his limits and will never knowingly hit on a straight guy, as his moral values tell him this is wrong, and despite the contradictions it brings, Liam is in fact a highly moral person, and with that due to his sporting prowess is one that is well-liked and well-adjusted.

He is something of a comedian, particularly around his friends, and he always has a witty comment to hand. According to his Facebook page, he describes his favourite things as toast, boys, dancing, drawing, Arcade Fire and the Sistine Chapel, and says that he wants to meet Johnny Depp, Nigel Reo-Coker and Ron from Harry Potter.

Liam is generally very protective of his friends.
