Ethan Simon '24 Recruiting Profile

As a kid growing up in Canada, football was always second to hockey. I first started playing flag football when I was 8 years old. Football was cancelled my freshman year of high school due to the pandemic. Fast forward to my sophomore year of high school and the coach asked me if i wanted to play football. My training was a couple years delayed due to Covid. I also hadn't played since I was about 10 years old. I knew I would have to learn a new position from what I had previously played. When we were eligible to play football after Covid restrictions were lifted. I decided why not tryout for the varsity team and even if I don't make it, I'd have a year in JV to learn more and develop. Through fall camp I learned a lot and earned a spot on the Varsity team. I even started 6 of our 7 games that year. After that I fell in love with football and knew it was my calling. At this time I wanted to chase a dream and that was to play college football.

I am a very hard worker, which includes in the gym, classroom or on the field. I am always trying to better myself for the future. I also like to learn of what I can do better either on the football field or in the classroom. I am not afraid to ask for help from teachers or going through film with my coaches. I am always striving to create the best version of myself so I can play at an elite level. I really want to find a college that will help me be the best version of myself, so I can make my parents and peers proud.
