Vick played a huge role in the Panthers’ magical Division II playoff run, tallying seven receptions for 214 yards and two touchdowns in their two wins.
He became the first Virginia Union player to record 1,000 receiving yards in a season since 2010.
Vick was one of five wide receivers in HBCU football to finish the 2024 season with over 1,000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.
He finished third among Division II wide receivers in receiving yards and tied for third in receiving touchdowns.
In addition to Vick, Virginia Union will move on from two-time CIAA Offensive Player of the Year running back Jada Byers, who has declared for the 2025 NFL Draft.
