Adam Schefter reports that Heisman finalist QB Diego Pavia from Vanderbilt has accepted an invitation to the Ravens’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.
Pavia, 24, attended Volcano Vista High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, before beginning his college career at New Mexico Military Institute, then transferring to New Mexico and finally to Vanderbilt.
He became the first Vanderbilt player to be a Heisman Trophy finalist, finishing second in the voting and winning numerous other awards in 2025, including the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, First-Team All-American, and SEC Offensive Player of the Year.
During his six collegiate seasons, Pavia started in 49 of his 53 games, amassing a record of 31-17 and completing 62.2 percent of his passes for 10,255 passing yards, 88 touchdowns, and 27 interceptions. He also rushed 628 times for 3,094 yards and 31 touchdowns.
Pavia met with the Panthers but went undrafted as was widely expected, becoming the first Heisman finalist to do so.
We will have more on Pavia as it becomes available.
