Meet Ethan O’Rear, a Curry High School senior who has been making waves as a cornerback and wide receiver in football for coach Jace Cordell.
After sustaining a career-ending injury during his senior season, Ethan said, “It was tough at first, and I was even thinking about continuing to play, but I thought about the future and how walking was more important than playing the game.”
Ethan has also proven himself to be a remarkable student. He has a 3.2 GPA and loves to study history.
As he awaits his graduation in May 2024, Ethan plans to enter the welding industry.
Ethan is the son of Gary O’Rear.
Congratulations, Ethan, on your athletic and academic accomplishments. We wish you the best in your future endeavors! WL
