East Carolina Football senior cornerback, who was expected to be one of the top selections in the 2025 NFL Draft, has reportedly torn his ACL, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.
East Carolina senior corner, one of the top corner prospects in the upcoming NFL Draft, tore his ACL in practice and will miss the remainder of the season. He projected as a first-round pick, as he’s Mel Kiper Jr.’s No. 2 corner prospect,” Pete Thamel wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
This is undoubtedly a significant setback for East Carolina, and it’s a tough break for him as well. Although he will likely still garner interest from NFL teams due to his high potential, sustaining an ACL injury in his final college season before the NFL Draft is far from ideal.
Stephen Igoe, an East Carolina football reporter for Hoist The Colors, expressed his sympathy in response to the news.
“Feel absolutely awful for Shavon Revel and his family. He did everything right, was trending towards a first-round pick, and then a freak injury in practice happened. The good news is he will still have more than good enough tape to get drafted somewhere,” Igoe wrote on X.
East Carolina football’s outlook after devastating Shavon Revel Jr. injury update
Revel is undoubtedly a standout player, and this injury is unfortunate news for both him and the team. Meanwhile, East Carolina football is off to a 2-1 start in 2024. They are set to face off against the undefeated 3-0 Liberty on Saturday night, and the matchup is expected to be competitive as East Carolina aims for an upset victory.
Winning without one of their star defensive players will certainly be a challenge. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 PM EST on Saturday as East Carolina looks to secure a win on the road.
