Only a little.

Several coaches interviewed in The Athletic's piece about best portal pickups mentioned Colton Joseph, the QB the Weasels got from Old Dominion.

Based on what we've seen from Diego Pavia, this appears extremely on brand.

I saw a tweet around the time of his embarrassing display at the Heisman ceremony asking (paraphrasing) "how big of a douche do you have to be to make the country root against Vanderbilt?"

He's the hottest football recruit in the nation — and he's never played in a game

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7136381/2026/03/23/college-football-recruiting-neff-giwa-rugby-ireland/?

Neff Giwa has never played in a football game and has only watched highlights of the sport, but over the past two weeks, the 6-foot-7, 295-pound rugby player from Ireland has become one of the hottest commodities in college recruiting.

Miami was the first to offer Giwa, who projects as an offensive lineman, a scholarship after coach Mario Cristobal saw a video posted on X just last week. Several other Power 4 conference schools quickly followed with offers.

In that post, Brandon Collier, who runs Germany-based Premier Prospects International (PPI), predicted Giwa "will be a 1st round pick one day! Remember this tweet!!!"

Over the past decade, Collier, a former defensive tackle at UMass, has helped place approximately 100 international athletes at major college football programs. Many have been former track and field athletes, soccer players, basketball players and some were even alpine skiers and tennis players. PPI produced eight players who started in the SEC last season. Valdin Sone, a 6-3, 315-pound elite shot putter-turned-defensive tackle born in Sweden, became the organization's first five-star recruit and signed with Georgia in December.

In early January, Collier received a tip from a former rugby player in England. "I got a kid you're gonna love."
