Professional career
Havrilla spent multiple years in the Indoor Football League (IFL), catching on with several teams while playing quarterback, safety and placekicker. In 2014, he began the season with the Dodge City Law before signing with the Arena Football League's Spokane Shock.[1] After three weeks on the Shock's practice squad, Havrilla returned to the Law. Not long after his return to the Law, he was assigned to the San Jose SaberCats, where he appeared as a backup to Nathan Stanley.[2] He was reassigned by the SaberCats on July 10, 2014.
Las Vegas Outlaws
On June 19, 2015, Havrilla was assigned to the Las Vegas Outlaws. He was the backup to J. J. Raterink, but when Raterink was pulled due to his ineffective play, Havrilla was thrust into the game.[3] The following week against the Portland Thunder, Havrilla was named the starting quarterback. He led the Outlaws to a 48-46 victory, where he scored the game-winning touchdown on a one-yard rush.[4] On August 3, 2015, Havrilla was placed on reassignment, one week before the season ended.
Cleveland Gladiators
On February 5, 2016, Havrilla was assigned to the Cleveland Gladiators. After Chris Dieker was injured in Week 1 of the 2016 season, Havrilla became the starting quarterback. However, he also later suffered an injury and Arvell Nelson replaced him as the starter.[5]
High Country Grizzlies
On June 1, 2017, Havrilla signed with the High Country Grizzlies. He played in one game for the Grizzlies, completing 16 of 37 passes for 282 yards, 5 touchdowns and 3 interceptions.[6]
