Ethan Marrero '23 Recruiting Profile

I am a 6’0”, 160 lb Division I outside back with two years of experience at Gardner-Webb University, contributing to both the Development Team (Fall 2023/2024) and the First Team (Spring 2024/2025). I’m comfortable playing on either side of the back line and have developed into an inverted fullback, stepping into the midfield during build-up play while maintaining strong defensive discipline.

My game is built around 1v1 defending, high endurance, clean passing under pressure, and strong tactical awareness. I pride myself on being a reliable, coachable, and high-work-rate player who consistently supports both phases of the game.

I have officially entered the NCAA Transfer Portal and am exploring opportunities for Spring 2026. I have the full support and endorsement of Coach Scott Wells, who is available to be contacted as a reference regarding my character, work ethic, and performance.

Off the field, I maintain a 3.8 GPA while majoring in Sports Medicine, balancing rigorous academics with the demands of Division I soccer. I am committed to competing at the highest level possible while continuing to grow as a player, student, and teammate.
