He originally chose the Hokies over offers from Michigan, Oklahoma, Auburn and others. Fitzgerald holds several school records at his high school, including most receptions in a season (88) and in a career (198), most receiving yards in a season (1,348) and in a career (2,673) and most receiving touchdowns in a season (18) and in a career (36).

Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia granted eligibility for 2025 season
It appears as though Chance Fitzgerald will be catching passes from Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia next season after a preliminary injunction has been granted in the U.S. District Court of Middle Tennessee, arguing that the governing body’s redshirt rule involving junior college eligibility violates antitrust law.
The ruling will allow Vanderbilt’s star quarterback to return for another season. The NCAA will be able to challenge the court’s injunction, but for now, he will be able to play next season.
Pavia had a great season for Vanderbilt in 2024. He has thrown for 2,133 yards and 17 touchdowns, with four interceptions. He’s also rushed for 716 yards and six scores.
