Ethan Sickles '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Ethan Sickles, but everyone calls me EJ. I am that kid that you are going to have to lock the weight room doors and lock the field fence because I do not have an off switch. I am the first one on the field or track and the last one to leave. I am a junior at Villa Park High School in Orange, CA. I am a three-sport athlete, I play basketball, football and track/field. Even though I play three sports, I have been able to be consistent with my academics and maintain a high GPA. I love the three sports that I play, but my passion for sports falls on football and track/field. I am the starting right tackle for my high school varsity team, and I can play any position on the offensive line, except for center, but I am always up for a challenge. I continue to train football weekly in the off season, there is always things to work on and I must lead by example. I have been blessed to train weekly with Jesse Sapulo and Chris Talamaivao, two of my people in my village, which has helped me excel in my high school football experience. After my freshman football season ended, I found myself wondering what I was going to do, that is when I found throwing. What ever I do, you will get 200% out of me, I jumped into throwing with everything I had, I throw shot put and discus for my high school varsity team. I throw hammer as an unattached athlete, as often as I can. I train throwing with Lisa Misipeka, who keeps my  throws farther and my mind clear.  I have a very strong, loving and supportive family, they are my biggest supporters and critics, they are a big part of why I have excelled as a human being. I work hard every day, I stay humble every day, I am not ready to stop playing football or throwing after my senior year, I have dedicated 17 years of my life to making that not happen and that is why I want an opportunity to play football or throw at the college level. I am not ready to be done.
