PAUL VOGEL Linebacker 1980 / 1984 Greenville, SC

Biography

A standout running back at Eastside High, Vogel was named all-region and all-state in 1979. He started at tailback for three years for an Eagles squad that won the state championship in 1978. Vogel redshirted in 1980 and saw action in 1981 as a reserve linebacker. He started some in 1982, ranking tenth on the team in tackles. A knee injury sidelined Vogel for part of the ’83 season but he still saw significant time while backing up senior Mike Durrah. Vogel took over as the starting middle linebacker for the 1984 season and would go on to lead the team in tackles while earning second team All-South Independent honors. He made some of the biggest defensive plays of that season – against Georgia he recovered a fumble by UGA QB Todd Williams on first and goal at the USC 2 with around two minutes to go in the first half; stopping that scoring drive was critical in an eventual 17-10 USC win. He recovered a Pittsburgh fumble at the Panther five to set up USC’s first touchdown in a 45-21 Gamecock victory. Vogel’s best game however would be at South Bend, as he made 24 tackles in a 36-32 win over Notre Dame. He also picked off a Steve Beurlein pass and stuffed Allen Pinkett for no gain on a fourth down in the final quarter. Vogel went on to spend time in the NFL with Tampa Bay (1985-87) and Houston (1987). He currently lives in Florida.
