Hello Coaches my name is Ethan Merritt-Clark I'm a student-athlete at De La Salle Institue in Chicago, IL. I have been playing football since 5th grade and have been playing it ever since. I grew up on the South Side of Chicago on 63rd Stoney. During My football career at De La Salle, I broke my ankle freshman year in week 3, and in sophomore year I tore my ACL and my meniscus so I had sat out the whole year and then Covid hit the world. I started back working out when I was clear to run and walk. Then Junior year I didn't play as much because they wanted me to stay healthy for my senior year but I wanted to play so badly junior year.
