When you’re among the top quarterbacks in the SEC, you’re going to feel powerful. That’s exactly the case with Diego Pavia, who’s playing in 2025 after fighting his eligibility terms in court. If you wanted to see more of the phenomenal QB, you might be in luck. Pavia might be coming back for another year.
Diego Pavia is going to court once again in hopes of playing another college football season, reports confirm. The Vanderbilt QB is already in his 6 season. His lawyer says that if the rules are not subject to antitrust, they’ll be challenging redshirting terms for one more year. Pavia had previously argued that the NCAA (a “competing business”) has “unlawfully conspired” to dictate how long a player can be useful for their services to a program that wants them, per Sportico.

Pavia has been brilliant for Vanderbilt in 2025. He’s established a 3-0 record so far and is one of the best quarterbacks in the SEC as of now. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit will sit for a hearing on Tuesday about the years of eligibility of Div-I CFB players, which is a result of the ruling that Pavia received for his case.
