Diego Pavia is now officially a Raven.
After initially accepting an invite to rookie minicamp, the quarterback has instead signed a contract with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent, agreeing to a three-year deal ahead of what was expected to be a tryout. The Ravens also inked former UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano—a fellow UDFA—to a three-year contract on Tuesday.

Pavia, 24, finished in second place to now-Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza in the 2025 Heisman Trophy race, and made headlines for his pointed comments toward the awards voters on social media. A two-year starter at Vanderbilt, Pavia led the Commodores to a 10–3 record this past season (their first double-digit campaign in program history) while leading the SEC in completion percentage (70.6%), passing touchdowns (29) and passer rating (170.4). He also added 862 rushing yards and an additional 10 touchdowns on the ground.
