🎧 CROWN CONVERSATIONS
On this episode of Crown Conversations, ODU football defensive backs De’Veion McLilley-Bulo and Asher Horn sit down to discuss their journeys to Old Dominion, the bond they’ve built as teammates, and the work that goes into competing at the college level.
From family and football beginnings to life inside the Monarch locker room, the duo gives fans a closer look at the personalities and mindset driving ODU’s secondary into the upcoming season.
📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Young’s Yard Work. After missing nearly two months with an injury, former ODU standout Jared Young is starting to feel it for the New York Mets.
The former Monarch has now hit a HR in two of his last three games for the Mets.
In 17 games for New York this season, he’s hitting .306 and already has a career-high in hits with four months left in the season.
🔼 Countin’ Down The Days. We are now just 94 Days Away From Kickoff for the 2026 ODU Football Season.
Wearing #94 this season will be redshirt sophomore Lorenzo McFadden-Pressley, who is a key member of the defensive line room heading into next fall.
Last year, the Lake City, S.C., native appeared in 11 games last year for the ODU and after a monster offseason is ready for a breakout campaign.
