EVERY PLAYERHAS A STORY.

One player's season, told in order: game by game, against his position, where he does his damage, and who he plays like.

Ethan Haston, VMI DB: the 2026 season story

Ethan Haston is a sophomore defensive back for VMI (Southern). He ranks 1511th of 1,841 defensive backs in Division I by the Player Index, which judges every defensive back on the measures that matter at the position, adjusted for the opponents he faced.

01

Scouting report

Why it matters. Knowing the one or two things a player does best, and where he is ordinary, says more than any single total. Ethan Haston's strongest measure is tackles per game at 3.1, 567th of 921 (the average is 3.7). His weakest is interceptions per game at 0.00, 397th of 921 (the average is 0.08).

02

Season production

Why it matters. Totals reward staying healthy and getting the ball; per-game numbers show how much he really carries each week. His tackles per game, 3.1, ranks 567th among 921 ranked defensive backs.

03

Against every defensive back

Why it matters. Splitting the measures into how much, how well and how many big plays shows what kind of defensive back he is. Among ranked defensive backs he sits, on average, in the 39th percentile for volume, 20th for efficiency and 14th for impact.

04

The season, game by game

Why it matters. A season average can hide a player who is great one week and absent the next; game by game shows how dependable he is. Over 10 games, Ethan Haston's best came in week 8 against East Tennessee State and his quietest in week 3 at Davidson.

05

Where he does his damage

Why it matters. Where and how a player makes his plays shows how his team uses him and what a defense has to take away.

06

National and conference

Why it matters. A national rank shows how a player stacks up beyond his own league, where the competition can be very different. Ethan Haston is 702nd of 920 FCS defensive backs and 56th of 80 in the Southern. Next up nationally is Jivon Oggs of East Tennessee State, 0.00 ahead on the index.

07

Defensive backs like him

Why it matters. Comparing a player with his closest statistical matches puts his season in context beyond the rankings. His closest match this season is Israel Boyce of South Florida.

About this page

A season, told as a story

Every player page tells one player's season in order. It shows where he ranks at his position in the Player Index, what he has done game by game, and how each game measured up against the defense or offense he faced.

What each part shows

The story covers his production against every qualified player at his position, where on the field he does his damage, how his usage has changed over the season, his best and quietest games, and the players whose seasons look most like his. Transfers show the school he came from. Any chart can be switched from the whole season to a single game.

Where the numbers come from

Everything is built from public play-by-play data for this season, with every game adjusted for the strength of the opponent. Past seasons back to 2015 are available from the season menu, so a player's career can be read year by year.
