About Ethan
Expert Analysis
Nate Wahl | Prep Redzone Scout
Ethan was another North Dakotan in attendance this time in the 2027 class and was one that showed off some intriguing skillsets that I watched on Sunday at the Augustana Prospect Camp in Sioux Falls. He might not have been the biggest linebacker in attendance, but Ethan’s football IQ caught my attention the reps I got to watch. He showed off well-versed change of direction in the LB/RB drills as a linebacker that surely possesses the higher games-speed than you might see in reflection to his testing numbers. I also felt like his athleticism he showed off in those reps translated with more range than you might expect. The 5’10 185 pounder from West Fargo Sheyenne surely is one that has the upside from a position flexibility standpoint as I could also see him as strong safety at the next-level due to his range he shows off.

Ethan is a newcomer to our rankings that comes in as LB7 in our 2027 North Dakota rankings out of West Fargo Sheyenne. The 5’10 185 pounder might be slightly undersized, but you can’t miss on watching his instincts come alive getting down to the ball carrier as for his size, he got a great amount of range he can cover as well. I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it, I like linebackers that play downhill, and Ethan surely shows off that he can do that on a consistent basis. He is also quite agile with again utilzing his angles to get around blockers before they get to him at the point of attack. Ethan has upside in my eyes in pass coverage as that range could show flexibility at the next level.
