Vanderbilt quarterback Diego doesn’t seem to leave the headline. Just a few weeks back, there had been growing concerns in the Commodores camp surrounding the uncertainty of their key QB availability for another year. But a federal court judgment lifted all the doubts, permitting the athlete to continue his tenure in Nashville, Tennessee. It came off as a landmark step against the age-old NCAA stereotype that kept players restrained from availing their full four-year timeline in college. It begs the question how does this impact the rest of the young athletes who also want this privilege for themselves? Oregon insider Spencer McLaughlin already had three names as a wide-open answer.

”Well, there are three players, actually, that this will apply to, can apply to for Oregon’s roster next year Jamari Caldwell’s defensive tackle Kobe Savage starting safety and George Silva, an offensive tackle now Silva is not someone who has played meaningful snaps over the last two years with the Ducks. He came in as the number one Juco offensive tackle last year and hasn’t worked his way up the depth chart,’ said the insider. Caldwell is already off to the Senior Bowl. He is less likely to leave for the NFL unless someone overwhelms the checkbook and makes an offer too good to refuse. Silva and Savage ain’t transfer portal favorites but possess immense talent. But regardless of the different dynamics, they all are going to get extra years on their card. Thanks to Diego Pavia and his genius law year.

”Kobe Savage and Jamari Caldwell now these are like the ones I talked about earlier this week that Evan Stewart and Jordan James aren’t decisions we’re likely to know until the year Dan Ling said well we’ll know, you know we cross that bridge when we come to it and they’re focused like that’s, of course, we want to hear standard operating procedures along those lines,” McLaughlin concluded.

Pavia, the standout Vanderbilt QB believes that the NCAA’s rules unjustly restricted athletes’ right to earn money under name, image, and likeness rules and hence didn’t think twice before suing the authority (NCAA) for their rules and actions. After he was granted what he demanded on a temporal injection, nobody seemed happier than Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea. The veteran HC wants Wonder Boy to play for the team and score lofty as long as he can.

Lea’s happiness made sense quite sooner than we expected.

Diego Pavia took center stage in a statement Birmingham Bowl victory

Pavia wrapped up a season in which he defeated both Alabama and Auburn with a victory in Birmingham. After leading the Vanderbilt Commodores to a high-flying Birmingham Bowl victory over Georgia Tech, Pavia rightfully grabbed MVP honors after passing for 160 yards and 3 touchdowns while also rushing for 84 yards and another two touchdowns. He tied for an esteemed record of mounting the second-most touchdowns as a single player in Birmingham Bowl history.

The wins and numbers are exceptional, right? Sure it is. But what made Pavia stand out in the CFB world is his courage and straightforwardness to do something that the rest of the athletes could have only thought to do and never dared. He deserves a collective thank you from all those who benefitted from the trademark paradigm shift in the NCAA ruling.

But, mo, our boy is dead humble and asked his peers, and juniors to thank the almighty, not him.

We will have to keep an eye out for further changes the trendsetter judgment brings to the table.
