Rhode Island’s Ethan McCann-Carter is a rising, physical secondary piece
Ethan McCann-Carter is a 6-foot, 200-pound Rhode Island defensive back from Pawtucket who has steadily moved into the Rams’ defensive mix, after appearing in all 14 games in 2024 as a special-teams contributor and reserve defender with 10 tackles and a pass breakup. In 2026, Rhode Island’s staff has flagged him as part of the competition for an expanded role in the secondary, which points to trust, versatility, and a physical style that fits a bigger workload. If you want a local, hard-nosed DB with room to grow, he’s worth a look.
