Super excited to be writing this recruiting update on Ethan Shearer Ethan Shearer 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB/RB Central Valley | 2026 State PA . Back on February 25th he was included in one of our “2026’s That Should Be Offered” series. Fast forward to 3/10 where he picked up his first offer from Miami Ohio. Ethan then took a trip up to Ypsilanti, Michigan to visit Eastern Michigan University. During the visit, he received his second offer from the Eagles. I’m excited to see how the 15-year-old linebacker performs in his Junior Campaign. He’s a prospect that will only continue to get better.

I have no problem pointing out my many hits on the rankings, DiLucia, Ahmed, Gehm, all of these names were ranked high before the FBS offers came. I have to take the L here after under valuing Ethan Shearer Ethan Shearer 6'0" | 225 lbs | LB/RB Central Valley | 2026 State PA ‘s tape. I like Shearer as a Top250 prospect, this usually reserved for FCS-level prospects. I was wrong on my grade, that’s evident after Miami (OH) offered the stud LB out of Central Valley. I hardly ever have FBS-capable prospects outside of my Top 100, expect him to climb even further up our ranks this off-season.

Here are Shearer’s thoughts when asked to elaborate a bit further on the interaction.

When I first arrived, I talked to the Coach Martin and it was short but sweet. He cut right to the point and shook my hand and said “Congratulations we’re gonna offer you.” I was just in shock. I didn’t know what to think or even say besides thank you. I plan on keeping my connection with all the coaches by messaging them updates and workouts. They liked my film and I couldn’t be any more happy that they did.

Mr. Fill That Gap. If you want someone who can come downhill to fill a gap here is your guy. Ethan also has good sideline-sideline speed. Making it really hard for opposing teams to get their run game going. He also knows how to get pressure on the QB creating 4 sacks last season. He’s also a productive TE for Central Valley, but I think FCS programs need to get on him as a LB now!

Shearer would rank inside the top 25 if reranked as a pure LB. Vic Castillo Vic Castillo RB PA recently ranked him inside the PRZTop250, was a former standout at camp as well.
