Brock Spalding - Suspended, not present at practice Spalding (knee) is in the disciplinary phase of a suspension, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Spalding has more than a knee injury to deal with as East Carolina's team begins fall camp. It is unknown why the Pirates suspended him, and his knee's status follows suit.
JULY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Dejuan Lacy - Healthy for East Carolina Lacy (undisclosed) is healthy for East Carolina's future practices, per 247Sports.com.
Impact Lacy's return to the practice field is a positive sign for East Carolina's backfield. After missing the spring with an injury, Lacy looks healthy and physically ready, adding even more depth to an already strong running back group. If he stays on track, Lacy could push for reps this season.
JULY 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Katin Houser - Healthy for fall camp Houser (wrist) is healthy for East Carolina's fall camp, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Houser operated East Carolina's first-team offense Monday, an unsurprising development as long as he is healthy. After all, he was the 2024 Pirates' primary quarterback. Even though Houser logged more than 10 interceptions then, he also recorded 2,006 passing yards and 22 touchdowns, 18 passing and four rushing. As a QB1, 2025 is Houser's second year under center, entering this year more proven than before.

Katin Houser - Nearing full health after surgery Houser (wrist) is nearing full health after undergoing surgery this offseason, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Back in May, as Igoe publicly projected East Carolina's depth chart, he announced that Houser is almost 100 percent and did some work late in the spring. Thus, he enters ECU's next camp with a probable status, likely to be ready for the 2025 Pirates' season.

Mike Wright - Transfers to East Carolina Wright is transferring to East Carolina, per Pete Nakos of On3.com.
Impact Wright spent last season at Northwestern where he completed 38 of his 66 pass attempts foe 354 yards and an interception in addition to carrying the ball 18 times for 84 yards and a touchdown across three games played. The 6-foot-4 senior previously spent time at both Vanderbilt and Mississippi State and could be in the mix for the Pirates' starting quarterback spot.

Jyron Waiters - Competing for slot role Waiters is competing to be the Pirates' starting slot receiver in 2025, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Waiters, who appeared in just three games last season, has been in a standout in spring practice and could have a big role in the Pirates' offense in 2025. He is currently battling with Oklahoma transfer Jaquaize Pettaway for the slot role, and even if he does not win that battle he should still see a significant increase in playing time.
APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Brock Spalding - Partial participant in spring Spalding (knee) has been limited during spring practice, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Spalding, who missed the last six games of last season due to a knee injury, has been limited during spring practices. The fact that he's even on the field is a good sign for his chances to be ready for the start of the 2025 campaign.
APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Kelan Robinson - Two catches in bowl win Robinson caught two passes (on three targets) for 16 yards in the Pirates' 26-21 win over N.C. State in the Military Bowl.
Impact Robinson, who missed the last three games of the regular season due to an undisclosed injury, was able to return for the team's bowl game and record two catches. He has a chance for an increased role in the 2025 season after the program lost the top two receivers from 2024.
APRIL 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jaquaize Pettaway - Making early push for slot role Pettaway has displayed good speed and route-running ability over the winter and could prove to be the go-to slot option in 2025, Stephen Igoe of 247Sports reports.
Impact Pettaway transferred to East Carolina this offseason from Oklahoma after amassing just five grabs for 87 yards last year with the Sooners. He should have a better chance to claim a regular role with the Pirates in 2025, and he could inherit a role that saw Winston Wright claim 54 catches for 556 yards and eight touchdowns a season ago.
