The Baltimore Ravens have officially signed undrafted Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia to a contract on Tuesday, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.
The signing comes three days before Pavia was originally scheduled to arrive at the Ravens facility for a tryout during the team's upcoming rookie minicamp. By moving to sign him early, the Ravens have secured the quarterback on their 90-man roster, bypassing the need for a formal tryout evaluation and preventing other teams from potentially signing him after the weekend sessions.
Pavia gained national attention during his collegiate career for his dual-threat capabilities and playmaking instincts. After a successful stint at New Mexico State, he transferred to Vanderbilt, where he continued to showcase the mobility and leadership that made him a standout prospect. His ability to extend plays with his legs is viewed as a natural fit for the Baltimore Ravens offensive system, which has long prioritized versatile signal-callers.
With this move, Pavia will now participate in the full Ravens offseason program. He joins a quarterback room led by Lamar Jackson as the team begins its preparations for the 2026 season. The addition provides Baltimore with significant depth and a developmental prospect to evaluate throughout the summer months.
