Freshman LB with Pittsburgh roots and a clean shot at early impact
Ethan Shearer is a 2026 freshman linebacker at Duquesne, listed at 6-foot-1, 225 pounds, and already has the build to play with some bite in the box[1][2]. The key appeal is upside: he’s local, young, and in a program that values physical, assignment-sound defenders, but there’s no public game-log or stats trail yet, so the real story is projection rather than production[2][3]. If your team wants a tough, developmental linebacker with room to grow into a reliable special-teams-and-depth option, Shearer is the kind of name worth keeping on the radar[2][3].
