Vernon’s athletic career started at age nine in Port Arthur, TX as he excelled as a Little Leaguer, always playing with kids much older than himself. He was an all-sports star at S.F. Austin H.S. and also played semi-pro baseball. He became an All-American receiver at Ranger J.C. and later played at TCU where some of his records still stand, making the All-Decade Team for the ‘70’s. He was drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs and enjoyed a brief pro career in the AFL, CFL, and AFA.

Vernon began his association with the NABA in 1996 and has been a premier player ever since.
