Vince Anthony Ferragamo (born April 24, 1954) is an American former gridiron football player. He played professionally as a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) and the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Ferragamo was born in Torrance, California. An All-American high school quarterback while at Phineas Banning High School (1969–1971) in nearby Wilmington, he was selected as that year's Los Angeles City Schools Most Valuable Player. Ferragamo was heavily recruited by colleges, and he accepted a football scholarship to the University of California, Berkeley.
Ferragamo got considerable playing time while playing for Cal in 1972 and 1973, but eventually lost the starting job to teammate Steve Bartkowski in that 1973 season. Ferragamo chose to transfer to top-ranked Nebraska in 1974. As a Nebraska Cornhusker, he lettered in 1975 and 1976. During his senior season he was All-Big Eight Conference, All-American and also an Academic All-American.
Nebraska was ranked No. 1 to open the 1976 season but managed only to tie LSU, 6–6, in a game at Tiger Stadium on September 11. The two teams were said to have waged "unrelenting trench warfare". Ferragamo capped his college career by leading the Cornhuskers to a victory over Texas Tech in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl in the Houston Astrodome.
