Ethan is a pure bucket getter with a dangerous mix of skill, confidence, and determination. A true shoot-first, three-level scorer, he thrives on breaking defenders down with crafty ball-handling and a quick release that makes him lethal from beyond the arc. His athleticism allows him to finish at the rim in any fashion, while his defensive IQ and relentless effort give him the edge on the other end. He’s a competitor who brings energy, leadership, and poise every time he steps on the floor, separating himself as a player who changes games with both scoring and disruptive defense.

This past season, Ethan averaged 15 points per game, 2 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 4.5 three-pointers per game, setting a Pennsylvania state record for average three-pointers made per game while also leading the state in made threes (109), good for 4th all-time. His biggest improvement has been in his finishing and decision-making, where he’s added creativity and confidence in attacking the basket. Over the summer, his scoring jumped from 15 points per game to 26 points per game, showing just how dangerous he’s become as his game continues to grow. He’s focused on adding more physicality and interior defense, while staying motivated by going head-to-head with top competition that pushes him to elevate his play.

Coaches can expect a passionate scorer who knows when to attack and when to set up teammates. Ethan describes himself as a bucket getter who isn’t a ball hog but scores when needed, while ensuring his team succeeds through chemistry and leadership. His goals remain team-first: competing for states, pushing his squad further than last year, and building recognition as a player who belongs at the next level.

Off the court, Ethan enjoys disc golfing, playing pickleball, gaming, and taking care of himself. His drive to compete and love for the game fuel everything he does, refusing to let outside voices shape who he is as a player or person.

I assess that Ethan’s ability to score from anywhere, combined with his defensive tenacity and leadership, makes him an asset for any program. His shooting efficiency, along with the knack for reading the floor, gives him the tools to be an offensive spark and a defensive stopper at the same time. Programs will value his toughness, team-first mentality, and the versatility to impact winning immediately.

With his record-setting shooting and defensive production, Ethan has already proven he can stand out under pressure. As he continues to grow physically and strengthen his interior defense, his ceiling continues to rise even higher. Expect him to emerge as a dynamic guard who can take over games, push his team to new heights, and become a player college coaches can build around.
