Report: Despite injury, future still bright for ECU CB Shavon Revel Jr.

by | Oct 24, 2024

It’s never too early to talk about the NFL draft.

ECU cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. was regarded as one of the top athletes at his position coming into this season. That hasn’t changed despite tearing his ACL a few weeks ago, an injury that ended his college career. Revel is now looking toward healing and getting drafted to the NFL.

“You’re definitely getting a loyal, coachable athlete willing to give it his all, no questions asked. No talking back, nothing. The assignment you give him, he’s willing to do it no matter what. He’s gonna give his all, 100%, 110% every day [and get] 1% better every day, step by step, stacking days, just getting better and better. No questions asked. I’m gonna give them my all,” according to Jacob Infante, the writer for Windy City Gridiron and its lead draft analyst.
