SAMMY VICKERS
Quarterback
1956 / 1957
Macon, GA
Biography
Vickers was one of the regular quarterbacks on the 1954 freshman team and had a 42-yard touchdown pass to Heyward King in a 39-20 win over the Wake Forest freshmen. Vickers backed up Mackie Prickett and Jack Hall at quarterback in 1955, along with classmate Bobby Bunch. An injury suffered in the spring of 1956 severely limited Vickers’ ability during the ’56 season, though he did handle some of the punting duties.
