Ex-UConn quarterback Joe Fagnano signed a three-year contract with the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent.

UConn confirmed his signing on Tuesday.

Fagnano was set to attend the team's rookie mini-camp as an invitee, but now he has a spot on the team's 90-man roster. He joins a quarterback room that consists of starter Lamar Jackson, a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, and backup Tyler Huntley.

Former Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia, the runner-up for the 2025 Heisman Trophy, also accepted a mini-camp invitation, but that could be canceled given that Baltimore now has three rostered quarterbacks.

Fagnano enters the NFL at age 25 after seven seasons in college due to injury redshirts and the extra COVID-19 season. He spent four seasons at Maine and three at UConn.

Last season, Fagnano finished with 3,448 yards, 28 TDs and one interception with a 161.03 passing efficiency rating. He was the only FBS quarterback with more than 200 pass attempts to have just one pass picked off. He led UConn to a 9-3 regular-season record before deciding to sit out the Fenway Bowl.

In 51 career games, Fagnano recorded 10,926 yards passing, 94 touchdowns and 18 interceptions.
