With his southern drawl and unassuming demeanor Ethan has always been taken as something of a fool. When he was born he was put in the "special" class and told that it was ok if he didn't want to read, he could just play with blocks all day. When he said he wanted to learn math and read the teachers just smiled and laughed, and told him not to worry his pretty little head over that kind of stuff. Everyone was very proud of Ethan though, because he always excelled in his special classes, particularly in sports. Before he knew it he was the starting power forward for the Special Olympic U-17 National Team. After recording 45 pts, 18 rebs, and 27 blks in the Championship game, suspicions grew that he was not "special" after all. After a huge scandal, Ethan was forced back into the real world of mediocrity and conformity. When he turned 18, like any normal child he applied to college, and that's how he ended up here. Of course to the Tufts E-Men, Ethan is very "special", with his great size and speed Ethan has already delivered the pain to some unsuspecting foes on the Ultimate field. With a strong defensive presence, including numerous lay out D's, Ethan is a force to be reckoned with. As his throws improve so does his confidence, and it is only a matter of time before this unassuming freshman becomes a dominant player.
As hard as he plays on the field it is surprising to see how laid-back Ethan is off of it. Ethan has a sharp wit, even if it takes him a while to get out what he is trying to say, but some would say they find this charming. And if you're ever bored just ask him how to pronounce Newark. Guaranteed hours of entertainment.
