Ravens sign former Navy star Diego Fagot: Linebacker gets permission from Department of Defense

The Baltimore Ravens have signed an interesting semi-local prospect, as the team agreed to terms with former Navy linebacker Diego Fagot after he practiced with Baltimore during rookie minicamp. Fagot was one of four Naval Academy athletes who received permission from the Department of Defense to pursue professional sports, according to Stars and Stripes. The other three athletes are football player Michael McMorris, women's basketball player Jennifer Coleman, and men's soccer player Matt Nocita.

"I know Jennifer, Diego, Michael, and Matthew will take every opportunity on and off the court or field to ably represent the Navy and Marine Corps to the American people and to assist us in our recruiting efforts," Naval Academy superintendent Vice Admiral Sean Buck said in a statement.
