Breaking News: Arizona State’s Elite QB Navi Bruzon Signs with the Las Vegas Raiders in Major NFL Move
Las Vegas, NV – In a headline-making move that’s sending shockwaves through the NFL and college football alike, former Arizona State standout quarterback Navi Bruzon has officially signed with the Las Vegas Raiders, marking one of the most unexpected and bold acquisitions of the offseason.
Bruzon, widely regarded as one of the most electric and dynamic quarterbacks in the college game, entered the NFL spotlight after declaring early and impressing scouts with his dual-threat ability, football IQ, and commanding presence on the field. Despite being a younger prospect, Bruzon’s raw talent and upside made him a target for several NFL teams—but it’s the Raiders who made the decisive move.
The signing was announced Friday morning, with the Raiders releasing an official statement:
“We are thrilled to welcome Navi Bruzon to the Silver & Black. His elite athleticism, leadership qualities, and competitive edge align perfectly with the culture we are building here in Las Vegas.”
While contract details have yet to be disclosed, sources close to the organization say Bruzon is expected to join the quarterback room immediately and compete for a backup or developmental role, with potential to rise quickly given his ceiling.
Bruzon’s path to the pros has been anything but conventional. After a promising stint at Arizona State, where he flashed brilliance despite limited playing time, he made waves during offseason showcases, private workouts, and team interviews—eventually catching the eye of Raiders GM Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce, who has deep ties to Arizona football.
In a post-signing statement, Bruzon expressed gratitude and excitement:
“I’m beyond grateful for this opportunity. The Raiders believed in me when it mattered most, and I’m ready to give everything I’ve got. I’ve dreamed of playing at this level my whole life—now it’s time to go to work.”
Fans and analysts have taken to social media to react, with many praising the Raiders for their aggressive and forward-thinking strategy. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport called the signing “one of the most intriguing rookie additions of the offseason,” noting that Bruzon’s skill set fits well with the evolving offensive vision in Las Vegas.
As Bruzon begins his pro journey, all eyes will be on training camp this summer, where he’ll look to make his mark and possibly emerge as one of the league’s surprise rookie stories.
