Ethan Haston brings two-way athleticism and developmental upside to VMI's secondary
Ethan Haston is a young VMI defensive back who entered the program as a 6-foot, 175-pound athlete with real multi-sport burst and cornerback projection, and his high school background included reps at wide receiver, track and field, and basketball. His college production was limited in 2025, with ESPN crediting him for 5 total tackles, so he profiles more as an upside defender than a finished product. The appeal is his speed/explosion package and versatility—traits that can fit a staff looking to develop raw, athletic DBs rather than plug in an immediate starter.
