Allama Matthews (TE 1979-82) named VU's SEC Legend for 2022

Well deserved; this is the 40th anniversary of the great 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl squad, and Matthews' All-American senior season.

He'll be honored December 2-3 in Atlanta; quite a lineup this year, including both Peyton and Eli Manning, as well as Johnny Manziel.

Long overdue.

Although this would be much more fun if Florida had selected Jabar Gaffney as their legend instead of Alex Brown.

He was on that legendary 82' Hall of Fame bowl team. I believe that's the first year I seriously followed Vanderbilt football. Matthews ranked 2nd in the SEC in total receptions in 81' with 50 receptions and 1st in the SEC in 82' (6th in the nation) with 61 receptions and 14 receiving TD's. A really nice player.
