Rutgers University Athletics

Why Rutgers? "I loved Coach Owens' mentality and what he was trying to build. There's also nothing better than representing your state."
 
Head Coach Steve Owens: "Ethan is a very athletic pitcher with a high ceiling for development. He has good velocity on his fastball and an advanced swing-and-miss slider."
