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.
