Much of Revere's returning strength will be on its lines. That group will be anchored by two-way linemen Jackson Farrow and Ryan Ferrara, both of whom are multi-year starters. Joel Caipen returns at defensive end where he finished with seven sacks in 2025. Michael Mark also returns at defensive end after 8½ tackles for loss last season. Revere will likely start Carter Hajdu at quarterback with twin brother Brady Hajdu likely to get the majority of carries at running back.
