6'4" LB with Elite Length, 4.66 40-Yard Speed, and 30+ TFL Production
Ethan Maddox is a rare 6'4", 230-pound linebacker for UT Martin who combines elite length with the fastest clocked 40-yard time (4.66) among 200+ pound prospects at his size, making him a coverage monster and blitzing threat [3][6]. Over his last three seasons, he tallied 246 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, and 12.5 sacks, proving he finishes plays with intensity and consistency [1]. His differentiator is his 'eye test' dominance—tall, fast, and physically imposing—paired with a stellar high school career at North Paulding where he recorded 117 tackles and 7.5 sacks in his senior year [3][7]. With no reported injury history and a brother (Aidan) also on the UT Martin roster, Maddox brings family-driven resilience and high-level football IQ [5][10]. He's a perfect fit for teams needing a versatile LB who can cover receivers, stop runs, and pressure the QB without sacrificing speed.
