He played college football for Louisiana State University, and was the MVP of the 2004 BCS National Championship game.

Vincent, along with fellow freshmen Alley Broussard and Barrington Edwards, split time on the third string.

But Vincent beat out his fellow freshmen for playing time, and by the middle of the season, Addai and Carey were injured.

He began 2004 as the starter, but eventually fell behind Joseph Addai and Alley Broussard on the depth chart.

In 2005, he moved back up to second string behind Joseph Addai after Alley Broussard injured his knee before the season.

However, Vincent suffered a serious knee injury at the end of the season in LSU's Peach Bowl victory over Miami.

He was part of a five-man running back rotation (which also included Jacob Hester, Broussard, Keiland Williams and Charles Scott), and he finished 6th on the team in rushing at the end of the regular season with 139 yards.

He currently works with the Tiger Athletic Foundation at LSU and is also the host of the Fox Sports program, Louisiana Sunday Kickoff.
