Diego Pavia makes eye-opening appearance before Colorado vs. Utah clash

Former Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, a Heisman Trophy finalist last season, made an unexpected appearance at Colorado’s practice ahead of their Week 7 showdown against No. 11 Utah.

Pavia, now a digital content creator after his release from the Baltimore Ravens, shared his admiration for Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, revealing that Sanders had previously offered him a scholarship while coaching at Jackson State. The Buffaloes, struggling at 2-3 and 14th in the Big 12, face a tough challenge with Sanders holding a 2-8 record against ranked teams, his last win dating back to October 2025.

The game began with Utah taking an early 7-0 lead, as Colorado’s dual-threat quarterbacks, Julian Lewis and Isaac Wilson, continue to balance productivity with costly mistakes. Sanders has also made recent roster moves, cutting three players ahead of the matchup, which carries added intrigue with Pavia and other college football stars in attendance.
