🔼 Preseason Honors. The football team had two players named Preseason First-Team All-American Conference by Sports Info Solutions. Brandon Best is a mid-year graduate transfer from Kennesaw State who enrolled at ECU in January 2026. He’s played in 43 career games. Preston Carr earned his first varsity letter in 2025. He’s played in 15 career games and has recorded 33 tackles (15 solo).

True or False.

Preston Carr booked at least one tackle in 10 of 15 games last season.

We like our Brew Hot ‘n’ Fresh. But we’re not opposed to you reheating your cup. Here’s some news you may have missed recently…

🏴‍☠️ It’s Official. Head coach Blake Harrell officially opened the team's 2026 fall camp with a 110-minute workout on Hight Field inside the Cliff Moore Practice Complex. Conducted in shorts and helmets, the opening session focused on reinstalling core schemes, individual position work, special teams, and two-minute drill segments. The 119-man camp roster enters the season undergoing significant transformation, returning just four positional starters from last year alongside a newly retooled group of assistant coaches. ECU will progress to full pads and additional scrimmages over the coming weeks as they prepare for their season opener at Alabama on September 5.
