Ethan Fox '25 Recruiting Profile

 Growing up, I competed in lots of sports: baseball from grades 3 to 7; basketball from grades 2 to 9; swimming from grades 1 to 6; and even pickleball in my free time for fun. But football was the sport that I was interested in and a sport that I enjoyed because I loved the physicality of the game and had many, many, many hopes and dreams to play this sport that I loved at a higher level. I got introduced to throwing my Freshman year of high school by the JV defensive line coach and was contemplating if I should go out and try out; my good friend Philip finally got me to go and try the sport. I've been throwing since that first tryout; I made JV my Freshman year, was named JV Thrower of the Year, and even got moved up to varsity after the JV season ended. After that, I became really invested in throwing; I signed up for an AAU throwing team and also signed up for camps, allowing me to train with quite a few experienced coaches and throwers. I've trained with many coaches: Coach Emily Webb of Niceville, Coach Sutter of Tocoi Creek, and Coach Harlis Meaders of Florida State are a few that have really improved my performance. Other athletes I've trained with that have had an influence on me include Nathan Lebowitz, Jackson Hamilton, Dylan Freet, and Zee Curtis. I feel as if I would make a good recruit because I have been a lot more focused on my grades since I realized that throwing in college was an option for me, and I've improved my GPA by .36 in a single semester and I strive to improve it a lot more before I graduate next year.
