Pavia, the Heisman Trophy runner-up last season at Vanderbilt, signed as an undrafted free agent in April. He had hoped to compete for the third quarterback spot behind two-time MVP Lamar Jackson and veteran Tyler Huntley. Skylar Thompson and Joe Fagnano will vie for that spot.

SEC's 9-game conference schedule alters rivalries

National Sports

TAMPA, Fla. — It used to be the biggest rivalry game of the week, the month — maybe the entire season. In 2026, Florida and Tennessee will be complete strangers. Their once-a-year matchup that, back in the day, featured Steve Spurrier, Peyton Manning, Phillip Fulmer and snark that sometimes even outweighed the stakes — “You can’t spell Citrus without ‘U-T’” — is absent from the schedule for the first time in 37 seasons.
