Longtime Ravens safety and special teams ace Anthony ‘Co-Cap’ Levine Sr. has been named the team’s next special teams coordinator.
Levine, 38, spent a decade in Baltimore as a core special teams contributor with an occasional role as a box safety. He retired after the 2021 season with 3,120 career special teams snaps and stayed with the Ravens as a player personnel/coaching assistant. Levine then spent two years as an assistant special teams coach in Tennessee before returning to Baltimore in the same role in 2025.

Levine will replace Chris Horton, who followed John Harbaugh to New York to become the Giants’ new special teams coordinator. The Ravens initially blocked Horton from leaving, but allowed the move after hiring Jesse Minter. He and Levine worked closely together during their shared time in Baltimore from 2017 to 2020, so Levine’s promotion comes as no surprise.
The Ravens consistently fielded solid special teams units under Harbaugh, though they had not been as impactful in the last few years. It felt, at times, that their performance did not justify the team’s relatively outsized focus on that phase of the game. Levine will look to continue Baltimore’s history of success on special teams, but perhaps without quite as much investment under a new head coach.
Senior special teams coach Randy Brown is also staying in Baltimore. He will continue to work with kicker Tyler Loop and long snapper Nick Moore. Punter Jordan Stout is set to hit free agency, though he seems like a strong candidate to be re-signed before March.
Levine is already familiar with the Ravens’ current set of core special teamers, which includes safety Keondre Jackson, linebacker Jay Higgins, and cornerback T.J. Tampa, among others. However, with both Teddye Buchanan and Chandler Martin recovering from torn ACLs, Levine will need to find a few more contributors for the 2026 season.
