The Baltimore Ravens have Lamar Jackson, Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton, Zay Flowers, and several other familiar stars forming the foundation of their 2026 roster. Around that established group is one of the organization’s largest collections of newcomers in recent memory.
Baltimore added an elite pass rusher, rebuilt the interior of its offensive line and used 11 draft selections before signing a large undrafted class. Some newcomers are expected to start immediately, while others will spend training camp competing for the final positions on the 53-man roster.
Here are the new faces Ravens fans need to know.
Veteran additions and returning Ravens
Trey Hendrickson, outside linebacker: Baltimore’s most significant veteran acquisition signed a four-year contract with a base value of $112
million. Hendrickson gives the Ravens an accomplished edge defender who can anchor the pass rush opposite Mike Green.
John Simpson, guard: Simpson returns to Baltimore after spending two seasons with the New York Jets. He previously started all 17 games for the Ravens in 2023 and enters camp as a leading candidate to regain a starting job.
Ethan Pocic, center: The former Cleveland Browns starter joined Baltimore shortly before training camp. Pocic brings 74 career starts and could provide an immediate answer at center once he is fully cleared following an Achilles injury.
Danny Pinter, center: Pinter signed in March and will provide experience at center and guard. Pocic’s arrival may move him into a reserve competition, but his versatility remains valuable.
Jovaughn Gwyn, offensive line: The former Carolina Panthers draft pick joined Baltimore as another option capable of playing center and guard.
Hakeem Adeniji, offensive tackle: Baltimore added Adeniji at the start of camp. He has made 16 career starts and offers experience at guard and tackle.
Jaylinn Hawkins, safety: Hawkins signed a two-year contract after recording four interceptions during the 2025 season. He gives Baltimore another experienced option behind Kyle Hamilton and Malaki Starks.
K’Von Wallace, safety: The former Eagles draft pick joined the Ravens in May. Wallace has started games for multiple teams and could earn a role based on his defensive and special-teams experience.
Durham Smythe, tight end: Smythe is primarily known for his blocking and should help compensate for offseason turnover at tight end. He will compete for snaps behind Mark Andrews.
Skylar Thompson, quarterback: Thompson joined Baltimore’s quarterback room after previous stops with Miami and Pittsburgh. He will compete with Tyler Huntley and Joe Fagnano for a backup role.
Calais Campbell, defensive line: One of the most respected players in franchise history is back for another stint. Campbell provides size, leadership and experience during Nnamdi Madubuike’s return from neck surgery.
Ravens’ 2026 draft class
Vega Ioane, guard: The No. 14 overall pick is expected to compete for an immediate starting role. Ioane brings power, physicality and experience at left guard from Penn State.
Zion Young, outside linebacker: Baltimore selected the 6-foot-5, 267-pound defender in the second round. Young recorded 16½ tackles for loss and 6½ sacks during his final season at Missouri.
Ja’Kobi Lane, wide receiver: The third-round selection gives Jackson a 6-foot-4 target with a large catch radius. Lane will compete for a role behind Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
Elijah Sarratt, wide receiver: Sarratt caught 15 touchdown passes for national champion Indiana in 2025. His size, detail and red-zone production should give him an opportunity to earn early snaps.
Matt Hibner, tight end: The fourth-round pick arrives from SMU with receiving ability and special teams experience. He could emerge as one of Smythe’s primary competitors.
Chandler Rivers, cornerback: Rivers is undersized at 5-foot-10, but his quickness and competitiveness make him an intriguing slot-corner candidate.
Josh Cuevas, tight end: Cuevas offers another developmental receiving option at a position undergoing significant change.
Adam Randall, running back: The former Clemson wide receiver has converted to running back. At 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, Randall could provide a powerful complement to Derrick Henry.
Ryan Eckley, punter: Eckley averaged 48.5 yards per punt during his final season at Michigan State. The sixth-round selection enters camp as the favorite to become Baltimore’s punter.
Rayshaun Benny, defensive line: The seventh-round selection from Michigan is a physical run defender who will compete for rotational snaps.
Evan Beerntsen, guard: Baltimore completed its draft by selecting the Northwestern guard. Beerntsen will compete for a reserve position along a rebuilt interior offensive line.
Undrafted rookie newcomers
Baltimore initially signed 19 undrafted rookies. Quarterback Diego Pavia was waived before camp, while the following undrafted players from the current roster continue competing for opportunities.
Joe Fagnano, quarterback: The former Connecticut and Maine starter finished his college career with 10,907 passing yards, 94 touchdown passes and 18 interceptions.
Elijah Tau-Tolliver, running back: The Michigan State product joins a crowded competition behind Henry that also includes Justice Hill, Rasheen Ali, Randall and Dontae McMillan.
Dontae McMillan, running back: McMillan rushed for 2,785 yards during his college career and also contributed as a receiver.
Cortez Braham Jr., wide receiver: Braham played at Memphis, Nevada and West Virginia, finishing his college career with 136 receptions for 1,777 yards.
Octavian Smith Jr., wide receiver: The Maryland product brings speed and return ability to Baltimore’s receiver competition.
Ty Pezza, tight end: Pezza is a converted wide receiver from Brown who caught 87 passes and recorded 24 special teams tackles during his college career.
Lardarius Webb Jr., defensive back: The son of former Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb recorded 11 college interceptions while playing at four programs.
Matthew McDoom, cornerback: McDoom recorded 30 passes defensed and four interceptions during his career at Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina.
Silas Walters, safety: Walters joins a safety room led by Hamilton, Starks and Hawkins. Special teams will be critical to his chances.
Jahquez Robinson, safety: The Auburn product offers size at 6-foot-2 and 214 pounds and will compete for a developmental role.
Dominic DeLuca, inside linebacker: DeLuca arrives from Penn State with experience at linebacker, safety and special teams.
Ethan Burke, outside linebacker: Burke is a 6-foot-6 developmental pass rusher from Texas attempting to earn a place in a deep edge rotation.
Nick Dawkins, center: The Penn State product enters an interior-line competition reshaped by the additions of Pocic, Pinter and Simpson.
Reid Williford, inside linebacker: Williford recorded significant production at Charlotte and will need to contribute on special teams to separate himself.
Dion Wilson Jr., defensive line: The 302-pound Syracuse product adds another powerful body to Baltimore’s defensive line competition.
Aaron Graves, defensive line: Graves registered 25 tackles for loss and 16½ sacks at Iowa, giving him one of the stronger production profiles in the undrafted class.
Diego Pounds, offensive tackle: The 6-foot-6, 335-pound tackle from Mississippi is a developmental option behind Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten.
Baltimore has repeatedly developed undrafted players into contributors, but the current roster's depth will make that path difficult. Special teams performance, positional versatility, and preseason production will determine which newcomers remain after the August roster cuts.
