The signing is a day removed from the Naval Academy announcing Fagot as one of four athletes to receive permission from the Department of Defense to pursue a career in professional sports. Fagot will have to serve the five-year mandatory military requirement when his professional career is complete.
Fagot had previously posted to Twitter that he had signed with the Ravens but had to wait until today for it to be officially announced.
After the NFL Draft, Fagot spoke about playing in the NFL, “I am excited to get this opportunity to continue playing the sport I love. Thank you to the superintendent, Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary of Defense for making it happen. I can’t wait to continue Navy football’s legacy in the NFL.”
Over at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Baltimore Ravens are -245 against the New York Jets for Week 1 of the 2022 NFL Season.
