The Revs' academy is producing above-average results now (?!), pretty much all of a sudden. It's pretty wild. They hardly bothered to sign anybody over the years because they didn't have much to sign, and now things are really flowing, especially with a modest bump from nationwide recruiting efforts.
Diego Fagundez '95 (Leominster, MA) signed ahead of the 2011 season and Scott Caldwell '91 (Braintree, MA) signed ahead of 2013. The Revs got a ton of mileage out of those guys, but they only signed one guy — Zach Herivaux '96 (Brookline, MA) — over the next five years and he didn't work out. In 2018 they signed two more guys — Isaac Angking '00 (Providence, RI) and Nicolas Firmino '01 (Somerville, MA) — who had even less of an impact than Herivaux.
In 2019, they signed Justin Rennicks '99 (Hamilton, MA) and Damian Rivera '02 (Cranston, RI), who are both still on the roster but are still fringe.
Then starting in 2022 the Revs signed Noel Buck '05 (Arlington, MA), Esmir Bajraktarevic '05 (Appleton, WI), Jack Panayotou '04 (Cambridge, MA), and Santiago Suarez '05 (Rocklin, CA). Buck is doing really well already, and some rate Bajraktarevic even higher than Buck. Panayotou immediately went into the first-team rotation, and Suarez's deal doesn't kick in until 2024 so he's solely in MLS Next Pro.
The next bigger name to come through the pipeline is Peyton Miller '07 (Unionville, CT), who is a left back who is currently started in MLS Next Pro. I won't be surprised if the Revs give him an MLS deal soon.
