Diego Pavia, the star quarterback from Vanderbilt, just inked a deal with the Baltimore

Ravens as an undrafted free agent.

ESPN broke the news first.

This albacarkey kid was three days from a tryout when Baltimore locked him in, along with

Connecticut's Joe Fagnano.

He's the first Heisman finalist to go undrafted in 12 years.

Pavia kicked off at New Mexico State University in 2022 and 2023, before transferring to Vanderbilt

for the past two.

Seasons.

There, he transformed the team, leading them to a 10-3 record their first double-digit

win season ever.

Fans and scouts are buzzing about his raw talent despite the draft snub.

He ranked second nationally with 3-34.8 total yards per game, through for 29 touchdowns,

rushed for 10 more, and snagged first team All-America honors, plus SEC offensive player

of the year.

On top of that, he took home the Johnny United's Golden Arm award, as the top upper-classmen

QB in college ball.

This signing skips the usual tryout drama, and gives him a real shot straight to Ravens

camp.

Pavia's story shows Grit pays off, now watch him battle for that roster spot in Baltimore.
