Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia will be allowed to play in 2025, for now. Pavia’s motion for a preliminary injunction has been granted in the U.S. District Court of Middle Tennessee, arguing that the governing body’s redshirt rule involving junior college eligibility violates antitrust law.

Wednesday’s ruling from Judge William Campbell will allow Vanderbilt’s star quarterback to return for another season. The NCAA will be able to challenge Pavia’s preliminary injunction, but for now he will be able to play next season.
He transferred to Vanderbilt for the 2024 season after spending two seasons at New Mexico State. The 2023 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year did not hold an FBS offer out of high school. A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Pavia spent two seasons at the New Mexico Military Institute to begin his career.
He led Vanderbilt’s upset of Alabama earlier this season. He threw for 252 yards and rushed for 56 more as the Commodores stunned No. 1 Alabama 40-35. The quarterback’s performance led Vanderbilt to its first win over an AP top-five team in program history. Vanderbilt was 0-60 all-time against AP top-five teams.
