A Leesburg product, Vince Fechtel, has the ability to become one of the future stars for Florida
Gators, according to his coaches.
Standing six feet and three inches and weighing 190 pounds, Fechtel is currently holding down an end
post for the Baby Gators. In their daily practice sessions, the freshmen work with the varsity to help get
them ready for their next opponent, a rough way to gain experience, but effective.
Big Vince learned the basic rudiments of the game from Coach Ed Stack, and according to the
coaching staff, he learned them well. As a flanker, Fechtel is hard to move out of a play and has a
remarkable sense of position, refusing to be drawn out of play by faking on the part of the opposing
quarterback. 1 of 2 Next
