A fairytale ended for Alabama when they lost to Vanderbilt last weekend. The college football world is still not getting over this shock. So does Alabama, a team sitting at the top of the AP poll, fall to 7th rank after its disastrous loss to Vandy. But that was not the case for Vanderbilt fans. We saw their emotions right on that field when they jumped, danced, sang, and screamed out of joy when the game ended. Their starting quarterback, Diego Pavia, said, “Games like this change your life.” And that’s true because he’s receiving love all across the nation. What else is he receiving? What perks of being in the limelight?

NIL valuation and a player’s performance in college football go hand in hand. After triumphing in Saturday’s 40-35 victory over Alabama, Diego Pavia is the current sensation of NIL deals. His current NIL valuation is $711, 000! That’s impressive for an emerging player who could be a big name in the game.

Diego Pavia is taking full advantage of this situation, grabbing all the possible deals. Pavia took to his ‘X’ account and shared a post about the same, writing, “For NIL inquiries, hit my agent 5055447267.” He wrote. His post is getting wild attention from fans to analysts; everyone’s taking note of it.

On3NIL reshared his post from their Instagram handle while also mentioning some of Pavia’a’s favorite brands he dreamt of collaborating with. “Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia tells @on3 Ferrari, Lululemon, Dr. Pepper, and Nike are his dream NIL deals.” Pavia interacted with On3 on Monday when he talked about his favorite brands. While for some of these Pavia has to go a long way. The rest are standing in the queue at Pavia’s doorstep.

Well, it’s a smart move to seize the opportunity when you can and Pavia is doing the same. Because the college football world is unpredictable, and so are the games. It’s better to take your share of fame when it is offered to you. Following a massive victory over Alabama, Vanderbilt is set to play against Texas, LSU, Auburn, and Tennessee. With that, Pavia has a chance to stay in the spotlight given his strong play. Moving forward, let’s look at some more deets of Pavia’s life.

Diego Pavia on the victory over Alabama

Diego Pavia is no cloud nine following his team’s historic 40-35 win over Alabama last Saturday. This game has played a crucial role in shaping his future and also made him big bucks. While interacting with the media after the game, he said, “Games like this change your life, you know what I mean? pavia said. it’s all about hype nowadays, and I don’t like it like that, but it’s reality of NIL and all that stuff. But just staying grounded, stay where my feet are and every single day, tomorrow we got to work on Kentucky.” Pavia’s performance against Alabama is also getting compared with football legend Johny Manziel.

Manziel, who led Texas A&M as a freshman in 2012, struck a 29-24 tight victory over Tide and made waves. Back then, the Aggies were just taking baby steps toward the SEC coming from Big 12 that year. To our surprise, Pavia revealed in the aftergame appearance that he finds motivation from Manziel.

Pavia threw 252 yards, secured two touchdowns, and rushed for 56 yards in the game against Alabama. Alabama faced a hard time given Pavia’s dual-threat capabilities, which were evident on the field. Having said that, let’s wait and watch what’s there for Pavia in the coming days, as the following schedule of the Dores will decide their destiny in college football.
