ECU cornerback Revel Jr. declares for NFL draft
East Carolina senior cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. announced Friday that he will declare for the 2025 NFL draft, forgoing his final year of eligibility.
Revel hasn’t played since suffering a season-ending torn ACL in September.
Revel had been one of the most productive corners in the country for the Pirates. Since the start of 2023, he had 11 pass breakups and two defensive touchdowns, including a 50-yard interception return against Appalachian State on Sept. 14.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Revel as the No. 2 cornerback and 23 overall prospect in the 2025 draft. At 6-foot-3 and 193 pounds, he earned second-team All-AAC honors last year, which put him on the radar of many major programs that tried to lure him to transfer last year.
“The size, the length and the movement skills, for being as tall and long as he is … you don’t see a body type as rangy and fluid as he is at that size,” an NFL scout told ESPN in September.
