Ethan Ladd brings proven depth and special-teams toughness to Western Illinois
In the 2024 season, Ethan Ladd appeared in 11 games for Western Illinois and logged 3 solo tackles, 2 assists, and a blocked kick, a nice clue that his value extends beyond the box score.[1] The 2025 roster lists him as a 6-foot, 220-pound linebacker, and his signing-day profile highlights a multi-sport defensive résumé, academic discipline, and a reputation for versatility and team leadership out of Macomb, Illinois.[1][3][4] If you need a physical, assignment-sound linebacker who can contribute on defense and special teams, he looks like a sensible fit with room to grow.[1][3][4]
