A breakout season at a newer position has thrust 2025 linebacker Ethan Pritchard into the recruiting spotlight. The Seminole High School defender went head-to-head with 4M Florida defenses earning four-star status and 22 offers to date. The most recent just rolled in from Oregon State after the Beavers saw Pritchard during spring ball.
More blue blood programs are taking notice in Pritchard.
“Alabama, Ole Miss, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Clemson are showing interest,” Pritchard said.
In addition to Oregon State being at a Seminoles practice, the sidelines have been lined with embroidered polos with college mascots.
“Miami and Mississippi State have stopped by, and Alabama is coming on Friday or Monday,” Pritchard stated. “That’s all I can remember right now.”
Before action started heating up in spring practices, Pritchard was in Orlando to hang with the Knights.
“I went to UCF two weeks ago for their spring game,” Pritchard shared. “It was a good visit. I finally got to see their new linebackers coach (Ernie Sims), and I talked with coach Gus (Malzahn). I got to catch up with coach Gus.”
Some SEC visits are being set for Pritchard.
“Florida, South Carolina, Oregon State for sure, and Auburn,” Pritchard stated.
The trip to Gainesville will help Pritchard further bond with the Gators.
“I want to see their coaching staff,” Pritchard said. “I have a good relationship with coach (Billy) Napier and some of the other coaches and players.”
Pritchard will be all smiles when visiting the Gamecocks.
“They have been one of my top schools even before they offered,” Pritchard shared. “Coming into high school I was looking at them.”
Florida State and Alabama are among the possible teams Pritchard may camp with this summer.
ON THE FIELD
Pritchard updated his spring workouts:
Seminoles’ defense: “We run a 4-3, some 5-2, mainly 4-3.”
Position specific work: “I am working on reading my keys and covering.”
In the weight room: “My bench max is 300 and my squat is 425.”
