East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr.Considered one of the top NFL Draft prospects at his position, suffered a torn ACL in practice this week and will miss the remainder of the season.
The play in which Revel injured his left knee was described as a “freak injury.” according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Revel, 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, was ranked by Yahoo Sports’ Nate Tice as the No. 5 cornerback and No. 35 overall player his big picture of the 2025 NFL draft.
“Revel has the ideal size and length for a starting outside cornerback in the NFL. He has good foot quickness and can start and stop to follow receivers.”
Other draft experts have projected Revel even higher. ESPN’s Mel Kiper considers him CB No. 2 and the 16th player overall. While Dane Brugler of The Athletic considers Revel to be CB No. 4 and No. 12 overall.
In his three seasons at East Carolina, Revel had 70 tackles, one sack and three interceptions with 15 pass deflections. One of those interceptions came this season against Appalachian State, which was returned for a 50-yard touchdown.
Revel was named to the All-AAC second team last season, making him a popular target for SEC and Big Ten schools in the transfer portal. However, the senior remained at East Carolina, which offered him a scholarship after he played junior ball at Louisburg College and impressed coaches at an ECU camp with a 4.4 40-yard dash time, according to ESPN.
