Vince Featherson made his mark with the Lion football team as one of the most dangerous return men in school history and it shows in the Lion record book, as his name was attached to seven school standards relating to runbacks at the time of his induction. Included among his records is five career touchdowns on returns, including four via kickoffs, as he brought two kickoffs back in both 1978 and 1979. When he was inducted, he held the school mark for season kickoff return average (34.1 yards per return) and is one of several Lions in history with a 100-yard kickoff return. Also a standout wide receiver during his days at Southern, Featherson ranked seventh in school history with 1,326 career receiving yards and was part of one of the two longest passing plays in school history, a 98-yard reception from Mike Loyd in 1978. Featherson now makes his home in Black Jack, Mo.
