You know what only Commodores fans can understand: how they hold their breath till the last moments of the game against Alabama. As the game was about to end, they knew their favorite team was going to win, but they couldn’t believe their eyes looking at the opponents. That was the case for the whole nation. No one in their wildest dreams ever thought Vandy would pull out a 40-35 victory over one of CFB’s top teams. But who benefited the most from this victory? It’s their star quarterback, Diego Pavia. When he woke up the next morning, wishes, offers, and deals from all the big names in the football world poured in for him at his doorstep. Now, a question arises: how does Nashville react after his victorious game?

Vanderbilt’s star quarterback, Diego Pavia, became an overnight sensation after beating the then No. 1 ranked Alabama in week 6 of college football. Recently, Pavia was seen attending the Nashville Predators opener against the Dallas Stars with his head coach, Clark Lea. A clip from that game is going viral where the announcers admire Pavia for doing the impossible.

The Predators welcomed the QB-Coach duo by announcing their arrival to the crowd, saying, “Well, turn your attention to the fourth fan stage to get us going. Please welcome our honorary towels, waivers, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia! and head coach Clark Lea. ” The announcer roared, and the crowd passed the vibe check, showing an equal amount of excitement and shouting their hearts out for Pavia, who made the entire city proud after a slashing win last weekend. The whole city loves its new hero.

The love between Diego Pavia and the city is mutual. He shared a clip recently on his ‘X’ account by writing, “I LOVE NASHVILLE, I DONT EVER WANNA LEAVE.” Since it’s his final year with his team, he’s getting so much love there that he doesn’t want to leave that place. Especially when they just started their golden period after winning a game against Alabama. With that, let’s look at what Diego Pavia is doing after this career-defining win.

Diego Pavia’s NIL valuation after victory over Alabama

Guess who just jumped from a $340k NIL valuation after this win? Yeah, Pavia’s revised NIL valuation stands around $711k and counting within days after his game-winning performance. The Commodore star now holds the 88th position on the NIL college football NIl valuation rankings.

Just a day before the game, his valuation was around $350k, but following the win, tremendous opportunities knocked on his doors. There is one funny incident as well. Can’t say if he was joking around or if he intentionally did it, but Pavia recently tweeted about his NIL deal and suggested contacting his agent for any such deal. He even penned down his agent’s digits!

However, some college football fans are saying that he is finally having his chance, and he is just seizing that opportunity. There is nothing wrong with it. On top of that, Pavia names a few brands he wishes to work with. “There’s a lot of brands I’d love to work with. Lululemon, Ferrari, and Nike. Oh, and Dr. Pepper, too. My initials are DP, so Dr. Pepper would be amazing to work with.” It’s a big thing for an unraked team to win against the SEC leader, and after making it happen, Pavia deserves all the attention he is getting.
