Preston Hodge gets an extra year due to Pavia’s lawsuit, so Coach Liv is feeling thankful.

Thanksgiving is 261 days away from the start of spring practice for the Colorado Buffaloes, but defensive coordinator Robert Livingston is already in a thankful mood. Coach Liv offered a sincere thank you to a player during his media availability on Tuesday, but it might not be one you’d expect.

Livingston didn’t thank a player on his defense. In fact, he didn’t even thank a player on his own team. Instead, he offered thanks to Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia during his presser.

“Shoutout to Diego Pavia,” said Livingston. “Forever grateful to you. If I ever make it to Nashville, first drink’s on me.”

Why is Colorado’s DC thanking Vanderbilt’s quarterback? There’s an easy answer: lawsuits.

No, seriously. Livingston is thanking Pavia because he sued the NCAA and won that lawsuit.

Pavia, who played two seasons of junior college football at New Mexico Military Institute before finding his way to Vandy, took the governing body of college athletics to court to argue that JUCO ball shouldn’t count against eligibility, and the judges agreed with him. As a result, anyone who played in junior college will be granted an additional year of eligibility.

The Buffs are beneficiaries of that ruling, as they get their star nickleback for an additional season. Preston Hodge, who played his freshman year in 2021 at Navarro College in Texas, will return for one more year.

Hodge was a difference maker in Boulder during the 2024 season, snagging two picks and netting seven pass breakups. Getting Hodge back for an extra year will be a boon for the Buffaloes, according to Livingston.

“To get Preston back is key,” Livingston said. “He’s a really good player. The way we play, Preston stirs the drink.”

Thanks to Pavia, Buffs fans will be treated to more of Preston Hodge at Folsom Field during CU’s Spring Game on April 19.
