Maldonado is the second FBS transfer the Delta Devils have received a commitment from this offseason, including former Hawaii defensive back Von Killins.
At New Mexico State, Maldonado played two games in the 2021 season. The appearances included a matchup against South Carolina State where he threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns.
