Diego Pavia Posts Vulgar “Immature” Message on Instagram After Losing Out On Heisman Trophy [PHOTO]

Diego Pavia didn’t win the 2025 Heisman Trophy. It was a weekend full of criticism coming after the Vanderbilt quarterback.

It’s Now or Never For the Buffalo Bills

Pavia and his family have taken a bunch of backlash this year. On Friday, Mendoza, Pavia, and Sayin arrived in New York ahead of the Heisman Trophy presentation.

Pavia, who spent most of this season rewriting Vanderbilt’s record books, was blasted for his behavior. The 23-year-old wouldn’t remove his earbuds and opted for a non-professional handshake.

After losing the Heisman to Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, he is now lashing out.

The Vanderbilt Commodores quarterback took to his Instagram story and lashed out at the voters. “(Expletive) all the voters,” Diego Pavia wrote on his Instagram Story. “But…family for life.”

While his performance on the field is A➕ his character off the field is anything but 🤦‍♂️
