ATLANTA (WKRN) — Heading into the 2025-2026 college football season, the Vanderbilt Commodores have a new confidence. Part of that confidence comes with the return of quarterback Diego Pavia.

The NCAA is appealing Campbell’s decision but granted a blanket waiver that will allow Pavia and other athletes who played at non-NCAA Division I schools prior to enrollment an extra year of eligibility if they were going to exhaust their eligibility this year.
