Washington defensive back Brian Vincent-Vega officially declared for the DSFL Draft on Wednesday.
This is no surprise after Vincent-Vega put together an impressive junior season at Washington, with 3 interceptions and 5 passes deflected while earning a 82.2 PFF grade in the process. Vincent-Vega was also nominated for First Team All-Pac12 after making the Second Team last season.
“I think I’m ready to take the next step.”
Vincent-Vega said in a Zoom interview. “I’m really, really thankful for the coaching staff, especially coach P. I was very raw coming in, without much football experience. (The past 3 years) Have turned me into a completely different player.”
Multiple scouting reports have credited his footwork, agility and motor for his success.
“I would describe myself as a hard working, all-over-the-field type safety. I try my best to identify routes and stick to the receiver.” Replied Vincent-Vega when asked to describe his strengths. “I’m also a huge film guy. Watching film is one of the best ways you can improve.”
Football wasn’t always Vincent-Vega’s number one sport. He played soccer up until his high school sophomore year, and joined the football team as a senior. There were concerns about passion for football but that has all but disappeared.
“I am 100% focused on football right now. And honestly-I believe all the soccer experience has been helpful. Soccer is all about footwork and field awareness. I feel like a lot of that carried over into playing safety and just football in general.” Said Vincent-Vega on his transition between sports.
Brian Vincent-Vega measures at 5-11 and 190 lbs, slightly undersized for his position, but Vincent-Vega is not worried about his size.
“Coaches would always tell me to play bigger than my height, and I’ve really embraced that mentality. I’m not afraid to hit the weight room if needed, though.”
Vincent-Vega is the next DSFL prospect to come out from an impressive Washington program that has produced many ISFL defensive backs.
Brian Vincent-Vega, a Seattle hometown hero, was a fan favorite and earned the nickname ‘Pulp Fiction’ during the course of his college career.
