The cornerback class of the 2025 NFL draft is very deep but not loaded with first-round prospects. But we can add one more to the mix as East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel has decided to forgo his senior season and will declare for the NFL draft. ESPN NFL reporter Adam Schefter shared Revel’s declaration on X on Friday.
We have Revel as our No. 3 cornerback and No. 4 overall defensive back in the upcoming draft. He’s in the mix with Notre Dame’s Ben Morrison and Ole Miss’ Tre Amos to be the third corner off the board which would lock him into a Top 15 overall pick.

NFL teams love Revel because he has elite size and length. His ability to run a 4.4 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3 and over 190 pounds puts him in rare company. Revel is a smart play who doesn’t assume his size and athleticism can win every matchup and is smart in coverage. He’s a physical run defender and a big hitter.
