Ethan and Stevenson HS welcomed WI opponent Kenosha Bradford to their home field for their season opener. The 6’2″ 250 lbs senior DL was a disruptive force all night long. Ethan thrives thanks in part to a very high motor. It is on display throughout the highlights. He fights through blocks, chases down plays outside the tackle box, and makes a lot of plays outside the initial framework of the play because he just keeps playing 100 mph. Ethan’s first step explosiveness was a mismatch for the Bradford IOL to try and stop. Ethan was able to consistently fly through gaps and make plays in the backfield. The big man also has very heavy hands and used them to deliver hard swipes or punches to clear the hands of the OL. It was a great start for one of the top uncommitted senior DL in the state. Don’t overlook the standout DL.

You will find the 6’3″ 270 lbs DL at DE in the Stevenson three man front. Ethan has built up a powerful, thick frame that serves him well for his role. Ethan has a strong lower body that doesn’t give up ground in the run game. He has heavy hands that can keep himself clean with a single swipe. The big man has shown to be a mismatch with his short area quickness and agility also. He can win with his first step quickness or quickly cross the OL face, or laterally cut over a gap before the OL can mirror him. Aghakhan looks the part of a DE in a 3 man front at the next level where he can use his strength and quickness.

Aghakhan is the definition of a high motor defensive lineman. The 6’2, 245 product from Lincolnshire uses a variety of pass rush moves to defeat 1 on 1 matchup against offensive lineman. He has an impressive ability to put his foot in the ground and redirect against different run plays. He is a physical tackler with a knack for getting after the quarterback. Aghakhan boasted 12 sacks and 70+ tackles while playing in multiple spots on the DL. Whether in a 3 technique or a 5 technique, Aghakhan finds a way to get to the QB.
