After some progression last season, quarterback Diego Pavia has national championship aspirations for Vanderbilt football.

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia isn't short on confidence. After leading the Commodores to their first bowl game since 2018 last season, the 24-year-old Pavia -- who was granted an extra year of eligibility in the offseason -- is setting his sights much higher in 2025.

The 2024 college football season was a wild ride for the Vanderbilt Commodores and quarterback Diego Pavia. Not only did the SEC program take down Alabama, which was ranked No. 1 in the country, but Vandy finished the year with a winning record and a bowl win for the first time since 2013.
