Ethan Houck brings NFL-sized upside, but Liberty is still waiting on the full reveal
In the 2025 season, Ethan Houck posted 17 passing yards, 0 passing touchdowns, and 1 interception on 6 completions in 7 attempts, with 24 rushing yards in limited action for Liberty; he entered 2026 listed as a redshirt freshman at 6-4, 205, and his recent role shift from QB to tight end signals the staff sees intriguing athletic versatility, not just quarterback reps. His differentiators are size, development upside, and adaptability, but with very little game tape and an injury/availability note tied to an undisclosed issue, he projects more as a long-term upside bet than a ready-made starter.
