, a safety from Hammonton, brings a bright, instinctive style of play to the position. He is 6 feet tall, demonstrates a solid understanding of route concepts, and excels at reading the game from the split-field safety spot. His ability to anticipate and position himself correctly allows him to make plays over the top, where his instincts genuinely shine.
Ethan is a willing tackler in run defense who consistently breaks down well in one-on-one situations, ensuring he finishes plays effectively. While he may not have elite athleticism, his football IQ and awareness compensate for it, allowing him to stay involved in key moments.
Heading into this season, improving his overall athleticism and adding more size to his frame will be crucial for Ethan to reach his full potential. If he can take those steps, he’ll become an even more well-rounded and impactful player.

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.
