Bio

Kevin Revis will begin his first season in charge of the Gulf Coast offensive line in 2022 after a championship-filled start to his coaching career.

In eight seasons at Jacksonville State, the Gamecocks won six Ohio Valley Conference titles. He spent his first two seasons as a graduate assistant assigned to the O-line, then took over the position as one of the youngest coaches with that position in Division I with great results. All five starting linemen earned All-OVC honors in each of his first two seasons in charge, something that had only happened twice in OVC history going back to 1948. In 2015, four of the five First-Team All-OVC linemen were from JSU.

Since 2016, Revis coached six FCS All-Americans. From 2016 to the 2021 spring season, JSU had 18 All-OVC O-linemen selections and they added an All-ASUN winner in the Gamecocks’ first season in a new conference.

BJ Autry, who was a senior on the 2018 team, earned a spot in the Senior Bowl and would later sign with the Seattle Seahawks. Two players from the 2017 offensive line (Justin Lea and Dylan Cline) were invited to NFL camps. 

Revis, who is originally from Dayton, Tenn., played high school football at Rhea County High School where he was a finalist for Tennessee’s Mr. Football as a senior. He earned All-State and Region 4-4A Offensive Lineman of the Year awards before signing with Tennessee. He was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll in 2009. After two years with the Vols, he transferred to Chattanooga and started for the Mocs for three seasons. He was team captain and First Team All-Southern Conference as a senior, when UTC won its first conference championship since 1984.

Revis has a bachelor’s degree from Chattanooga and a master’s from Jacksonville State. He and his wife Patterson have a daughter, Miller, who is 2. They’re expecting a son Chatt in March.
