Pavia is in the national spotlight after leading Vanderbilt to an upset victory over a top-ranked Alabama team. The transfer quarterback was 16-of-20 passing for 252 yards and 2 touchdowns, with no interceptions in the 40-35 Commodore victory. Pavia was also second on the team in rushing, recording 20 carries for 56 yards, with a long of 12.
Monday’s social media post included “Vandy we turnt,” a callback to his postgame interview on SEC Network. The original saying included an f-bomb, which might actually appeal more to some fans.

Pavia and the Commodores have more to worry about than NIL deals right now. Vanderbilt plays at Kentucky on Saturday. UK is a double-digit favorite and has a 68.3% chance to win, according to ESPN’s FPI.
