In this episode, we sit down with Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia to hear his journey from JUCO to leading Vandy to an unforgettable win over Alabama. Diego shares his story, from growing up with a competitive mindset to navigating the ups and downs of college football. We talk about why he chose JUCO over other options, how he developed his unique “dog mentality,” and the phone call that brought him to Vanderbilt.

Diego also opens up about life in the SEC, how he’s helping to shape the culture at Vandy, and his thoughts on the differences between conferences. He shares his perspective on Vandy’s season so far, the challenges ahead, and what he’s looking forward to next—both on and off the field.

We also discuss his ongoing legal battle with the NCAA, what it means for his future, and how he’s staying focused through it all. Plus, we break down his stats and compare them to some of Vanderbilt’s all-time great quarterbacks, like Jay Cutler.

Whether you’re a die-hard football fan or just curious about Diego’s story, this episode offers a closer look at what drives him, his goals, and his perspective on the game.
