    Former Navy LB Diego Fagot Added To CFL Roster

    Naval Academy middle linebacker and former captain Diego Fagot will get another chance at pro football this spring/summer. Fagot was signed by the Canadian football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders last week.

    A product of Fort Lauderdale's Cavalry Christian High School, Fagot signed with Navy in the class of 2018. He earned All-AAC honors two times in his four years with the Midshipmen. Fagot also totaled 282 tackles with 35.5 for a loss and 9.5 sacks in his college career.

    Fagot went undrafted following the 2021 season but signed with the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent. He was released before the beginning of the regular season. Then, he was drafted by the XFL's Houston Roughnecks ahead of the 2023 season, but was released in February of 2023. He spent the 2023 NFL preseason with the New England Patriots, but was released that September.

    Saskatchewan finished the 2023 season with a record of 6-12. 

    CFL training camps for the upcoming season are set to open on Sunday, May 14, 2024.
