Diego Pavia has hinted at the next steps in his career.
The former Vanderbilt football quarterback and 2025 Heisman runner-up appears poised to join the UFL.
"appreciate everyone reaching out with everything on my career. my agent (Malki Kawa) and the UFL are currently in negotiations to make this happen! whatever team I end up at, I can promise you one thing- You will get everything I got," Pavia wrote on X.
The UFL draft will be held Nov. 18, with the regular season beginning in March.
Pavia signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in the spring after not getting selected in the 2026 NFL Draft. He was cut by the Ravens shortly before the start of training camp and has not been signed by any other teams. Instead, he has been streaming on social media and has attended several Commodores games.
