Vincent tallied four interceptions and 48 total tackles during the 2019 campaign. None of the CBS Sports mock drafts last updated on June 22 listed Vincent as a projected first-round pick.

He joins Miami Hurricanes defensive lineman Gregory Rousseau, Penn State Nittany Lions linebacker Micah Parsons, and Minnesota Golden Gophers wide receiver Rashod Bateman as noteworthy college players who elected to sit the 2020 campaign out.

The SEC will unveil the league's 10-game conference-only schedule later on Monday.
