Ravens Insider: Ravens hire Anthony Levine Sr. as new special teams coordinator

[ExtremeRavens]

Jesse Minter’s first staff in Baltimore is nearly complete.

Anthony Levine Sr., who most recently served as an assistant special teams coach under John Harbaugh, will be promoted to special teams coordinator, the Ravens announced Tuesday night.

As a player, Levine spent two seasons in Green Bay and then a decade in Baltimore, earning the nickname “Co-Cap” for his contributions on the third phase. He holds the Ravens’ franchise record for special teams tackles with 62.

Levine predominantly starred in a special teams role, but as a safety, he spent a brief period playing under Minter, who coached defensive backs for two of his four seasons during his first Baltimore stint. Levine has a pair of Super Bowl rings too, one while on the Packers’ practice squad in 2010 and another with the Ravens from 2012.

After his playing career, Levine spent two seasons as an assistant special teams coach in Tennessee before returning to the Ravens to work under former special teams coach Chris Horton.

Former Ravens safety Geno Stone posted on X, “Man so happy for my bro! Showed me everything I needed to know to be a pro in this league!” Tony Jefferson, another former Ravens safety, posted, “you worked yo [butt] off for this moment bro!”

Of the four lead voices in Baltimore – Minter, head coach; Declan Doyle, offensive coordinator; Anthony Weaver; defensive coordinator; and Levine, special teams coordinator – three have previous ties to the Ravens. Doyle is the only newcomer.

The 38-year-old Levine also interviewed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ special teams coordinator opening. Instead, he’ll inherit a special teams unit that, by and large, proved to be a bright spot for the Ravens this past season.

Punter Jordan Stout earned his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro nod. Rookie kicker Tyler Loop had a solid first year, despite its gutting finish. And Horton managed to get the most out of undrafted rookie Keondre Jackson, who, like Levine, started his career on the practice squad. Same with depth defensive back T.J. Tampa, who missed most of his rookie year because of injuries. Those two finished top-three in special teams tackles this past season.

As a whole, Baltimore’s special teams unit struggled in 2024. The group bounced back in 2025, jumping from No. 23 in special teams efficiency to No. 12, according to FTN. It will be up to Levine to carry that success into the new regime.
