So what’s his EA Sports rating?

If you’re familiar with any of the sports video games, then you’ll understand just how much of an influence those ratings play. It may raise a question here — is Diego Pavia the next video game cheat code? Well, EA Sports has realized it. In the College Football 25, it’s now revealed that Pavia has been rated 79 overall. That’s impressive considering he wasn’t even a starter at the beginning of the season. His elusiveness in getting away from pressure on the field is noted highly, and this correlates with his rushing grade. But we can’t overlook his decision-making skills and his impressive 92.1% passing rate.

It is not only how many he scores, though, it is also how he goes about it – just like in life. If what you’re looking for is a QB who wants to run and pass the ball and make snap decisions, Pavia’s your man. The game against Alabama was quite an illustrative example of how he controls the game with his legs and arms.

As a player who started in JUCO and took down top-ranked teams, both on the field and in a video game format, Diego Pavia is living proof that there is always a place for an underdog. I swear, there is a lot more to EA than the rating. This kid is a top-tier talent!

Diego Pavia’s rise in college football

All things considered, Pavia’s story can hardly be called anything but epic, given that the man was not even ranked upon entering college and coming out of high school. Once he moved from New Mexico State, where he took the Aggies to their first-ever 10-win season, he brought that passion to Vanderbilt University. Are we serious? Nobody expected Vanderbilt to beat Alabama, but Pavia? He had other plans. In that game alone he was almost perfect, completing 16 of 20 passes for 252 yards a couple of touchdowns [2 to be exact], and 56 rushing yards.

And that is not just a single game. For instance. Pavia has been efficient all this season completing 70 of 105 passes for 973 yards: eight touchdowns and one interception. On the ground? He has 335 yards scrambling and 2 touchdowns on 91 carries. This guy is doing it all. According to PFF, Pavia has excelled as both a runner and passer, earning an 80.1 rushing grade and a 92.1 passing grade. It’s clear that this young quarterback has a bright future ahead. And it appears EA Sports has taken notice of his versatility for good.
