During his playing days as a starting quarterback and defensive back, Vic Prinzi embodied the early days of Florida State football. Prinzi began his career as a freshman in 1954, grabbing national
headlines for his three touchdown performance against VMI as a fifth-string quarterback. Prinzi was joined in the backfield that year by long-time friend Burt Reynolds. Later in his career, the
Waverly, New York native displayed his versatility, playing both offense and defense. As a senior co-captain of the 1958 team, Prinzi helped guide the Seminoles to a 7-4 record and a berth in the
Bluegrass Bowl while leading the team in passing. Prinzi played briefly with the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos before joining the high school and college coaching ranks for 12 seasons. Today, Prinzi serves as vice president of a major brokerage firm in Tampa, in addition to working as a color analyst on the Seminole Radio Network. The second generation of "Prinzi Seminoles" will begin in 1988 as son Pete signed with FSU.
