Ethan Ridley Ethan Ridley 6'1" | 160 lbs | DB Hewitt Trussville | 2026 State AL is a lockdown DB who has been a big part of Hewitt-Trussville’s secondary for the last few seasons.

“Ridley lines up at CB and is a constant threat for quarterbacks out in coverage- he’s terrific in zone, can cover multiple levels of the field, and has the ball skills and hands to haul in interceptions and break up passes downfield.

Ridley is also a physical run defender who plays with a ton of speed and effort to make hustle plays down near the line of scrimmage. It’s really impressive watching how well he fights off blocks and pursues after the ball carrier, he’s a talented tackler who gets low and wraps up the ball carrier for little to no gain after making first contact.“

Last week, Ridley announced he had picked up an offer from Presbyterian College! With his talent, I expect more will be sent his way soon- he’s a talented DB with a big season ahead.
