The Ravens are taking a look at an intriguing quarterback next weekend.
According to Adam Schefter, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia has accepted an invitation to attend Baltimore’s rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.
Pavia is the first Heisman Trophy finalist to go undrafted since Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch in 2014. Pavia will compete against Connecticut quarterback Joe Fagnano, who is also receiving a tryout at the Ravens rookie minicamp. Still, his production at Vanderbilt and elusive style of play make him an intriguing player to watch. In 2025, the bousterious Pavia led Vanderbilt to a 10-3 record, the first double-digit win season in school history after throwing 29 touchdown passes and rushing for 10 more, earning first-team All-American and SEC Offensive Player of the Year, as he won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as the best upperclassman quarterback in college football.
This isn’t a signing, but it is an opportunity. With no rookie quarterback currently in the mix, Pavia should get a real shot to show what he can do over the course of the weekend. For Baltimore, it’s exactly what minicamp is for: bring in competitive players, see how they respond, and let them earn their way. Now it’s on Pavia to make it count.
