Vince Vidas is one of the most decorated football players ever to step on the gridiron at Drexel. Vidas has the distinction of being the only Drexel football player ever named to two All-America teams. He was honored after both his junior and senior seasons.

Vidas, a 1959 graduate, was a captain of the team as a senior. He also played one season of both basketball and lacrosse. He stayed very active in the Drexel community after graduation and is to this day involved in Drexel Athletics. Mr. Vidas and his wife, Judith, played a major role in the upgrade of Drexel’s Athletic Complex at 43rd and Powelton. The complex and the lower field, which is the home field for the lacrosse and soccer teams, are named after the Vidas Family.
