Key takeaway Pavia played two seasons at NMSU before he transferred to Vanderbilt where he led the Commodores to their first 10-win season in school history this past season.
Why this matters in The El Paso
Diego Pavia's release from the Baltimore Ravens may have local implications for New Mexico State University's football program. As a former quarterback who played for NMSU, Pavia's journey to the NFL was closely watched by El Paso fans. His time at NMSU was marked by notable performances, and his subsequent transfer to Vanderbilt, where he led the team to a historic 10-win season, only added to his reputation as a talented player. The fact that Pavia was competing for a spot in the NFL, even if it was as a third-string quarterback, suggests that NMSU's football program is capable of producing players who can compete at the highest level. This could have a positive impact on the program's reputation and potentially attract more talented players to the university. El Paso fans will likely be keeping an eye on Pavia's next move, hoping he finds another opportunity to showcase his skills in the NFL.
