Ethan Cole brings freshman size and proven prep production to UND’s interior
Ethan Cole enters the 2026 North Dakota football season as a 6-foot-4, 255-pound freshman defensive tackle with a legit nose for disruption after starring at Chatfield (Minn.) High, where he was a three-year starter, an all-state pick, and a first-team all-conference performer. He’s the kind of interior lineman who can anchor against the run and flash pop as a young, developing piece—valuable if your team wants toughness, upside, and a motor-driven project rather than a finished product.
