Hammonton’s Ethan Peterson Ethan Peterson 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Hammonton | 2026 State NJ was a prospect who played varsity as a sophomore. Taking advantage of a run-heavy scheme, Peterson will lull defenders to sleep to gain a step when his quarterback looks to go deep; he is capable of making one-handed grabs. Primarily a safety, Peterson tackles low and wraps. As he gains more size and strength in the coming offseasons, expect more pop to his tackles. Peterson has shown the ability to run with tight ends who cross the field. Peterson fills the alley by setting a hard endge, which prevents team from going outside of him. An improved backpedal will aid Peterson, as well as truncating his film to a shorter length.
