Pirate Pulse Podcast: ECU’s 2026 Recruiting Class, Week 11 UTSA Preview, and Baseball Portal Recap
East Carolina fans — buckle up. The newest Pirate Pulse Podcast dives into a loaded episode covering three key topics every Pirate fan needs to know.
First, we break down ECU’s rising 2026 football recruiting class, which features highly touted prospects from Georgia, the Carolinas, and beyond. From blue-chip defensive backs like DJ McLendon and David Coleman Jr. to explosive receivers like Tyreek Copper, the Pirates are building a foundation under Coach Mike Houston that could reshape the program’s future.
Next, we preview ECU’s Week 11 showdown at UTSA, a must-win matchup for momentum in the American Athletic Conference. With the Roadrunners returning firepower on both sides of the ball and defending an undefeated home streak, ECU’s ability to match their physicality will be tested.
Finally, we take a swing at the baseball transfer portal, where ECU has been just as aggressive — landing arms like Frank Ciccone and Joseph Webb, and speedster Jeff Sabater, who brings elite base-stealing to the top of the lineup.
🏴☠️ This is the one-stop breakdown for Pirate fans heading into a pivotal stretch of the year.
