CCA’s main ball-carrier other than Poynton, Ethan Vice Ethan Vice 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB/RB Clear Creek-Amana | 2026 IA is tall and lanky for a running back. With more of a look of an X-receiver at the high school level, Vice uses his long legs to power through-would be tackles. A long strider, too, Vice navigates space well to find a way through holes created by his offensive line and to maneuver through any open crevices available in the defense. With dual-threat Poynton under center and Seals on the outside, Vice should benefit greatly as a runner.

Vice contributed significantly in all three phases as a junior in 2024. He appears poised for more production during his final prep campaign when watching his 11th-grade highlight video. His overall athleticism leaves open the possibility of multiple positions on the next level. Vice performs well at cornerback, changing directions and running well. With his frame, his skills could play up even more at safety. He’s dangerous with the ball in his hands, too. Vice cuts sharply with breakaway potential. He finished last season with 342 yards (6.2 YPC) and a pair of touchdowns rushing and also caught eight passes. He posted 12 solo tackles with a pair of interceptions and a fumble recover. Vice produced as a punt and kick returner, too.
