So Scott just posted in the "other sports" about the track team and I usually check in to see if we have any potential football players. Turns out we do and wondering if this particular guy will be joining the football team. Tony Tate's bro Toriano, is listed on the roster and has actually updated his Twitter profile with WIU track. I've been checking in on him as he was originally going to NIU for football, but that fell through.
Not really a 2023 recruit, but potential roster addition for next year. Maybe he's just sticking with track, but could be a nice addition to our football team.

This was my son's favorite player when we went to Macomb football games this last fall (my son's name is also Ethan).
Ethan Ladd, 6'2" 220lb C/DE from Macomb HS

He's also a wrestler, so probably good at pancake blocking defensive linemen.

This is great to see!!!!! Ethan has put in the hard work to make himself a better football player, and is a fantastic young man. Always love seeing a hometown kid on the team, too. Congrats, Ethan - looking forward to watching you! A top notch "get".ST_Lawson wrote: Tue Dec 20, 2022 4:03 pm This was my son's favorite player when we went to Macomb football games this last fall (my son's name is also Ethan).
