Early life
Krevis was born in Providence, Rhode Island.[https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/K/KrevAl20/gamelog/1975/ Al Krevis], Pro Football Reference. Accessed March 28, 2023. Raised in the Lake Hiawatha section of Parsippany–Troy Hills, New Jersey, Krevis attended Morris Catholic High School in Denville Township, New Jersey followed by Boston College.Castellano, Dan. [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/121835903/al-krevis-of-lake-hiawatha-and-morris/ "Al Krevis Awaits NFL Call"], Daily Record, January 5, 1975. Accessed March 28, 2023, via Newspapers.com. "And it was only six years ago that opposing high school coaches were waiting to meet Morris Catholic and its star two-way lineman who most thought was overrated and getting by on size alone.... And the highly articulate 22-year-old from Lake Hiawatha is certainly aware of his prowess." Krevis statistically only showed his talent in college.

While playing for the Boston College Eagles football team, Krevis lettered. He was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round, 39th overall in the 1975 NFL draft, and played three games for them. In 1976, he played ten games for New York Jets.
