AP All-SEC: Texas A&M, Vanderbilt Players Win Honor From AP
Diego Pavia led Vanderbilt to its first 10-win season with a 171.5 passer rating; Clark Lea earned his second straight SEC Coach of the Year honor.
- In results released Wednesday, the Associated Press named Diego Pavia the SEC Offensive Player of the Year, Clark Lea the SEC Coach of the Year, and Cashius Howell the Defensive Player of the Year.
- Lea built momentum by implementing a winning culture and using the transfer portal to add Diego Pavia, leading to Vanderbilt football program's first 10-win season and a 17-8 record.
- Pavia's 2025 numbers show Diego Pavia completed 71% of passes for 3,192 yards, totaled 4,018 yards with 36 touchdowns, ranked fourth nationally with a 171.5 passer rating, and is a Heisman Trophy finalist.
- Lea's team now heads to the ReliaQuest Bowl in Tampa Bay after a program-record 10-2 regular season, and the Commodores will face the Hawkeyes at 11 a.m. CT on Dec. 31 while Pavia attends the Heisman ceremony in New York City this weekend.
- That success prompted a six-year contract extension last month for Clark Lea and drew program interest as Diego Pavia led Vanderbilt to 39.4 points per game.
