Ryan Souter is a Software Consultant from Salt Lake City UT. He is best known as 1/7 of the Souter 7 when he competed on the ninja course alongside several of his siblings. He is also known for his nickname "Hercules" and was the one that got his family into ninja training. He is also known to have a condition called hyperhidrosis, aka “sweaty palms.”
American Ninja Warrior 9[]
Ryan first competed in Denver in American Ninja Warrior 9, (after seeing his other siblings fall early on obstacles such as the Floating Steps, Ring Swing, and the Bouncing Spider). Ryan was the last hope for the Souter 7, he made it all the way to the Rail Runner before falling, he did place twenty-first and moved on to the city finals (making him the only one out of the seven). His run in the city finals was digested but it was shown that he failed The Wedge, he did place fifth and moved on to the national finals. His run on Stage One was also digested but it was shown that he failed the Jumping Spider.
