Early years
Vigil attended Fremont High School in Plain City, Utah, where he played football and basketball. In football, Vigil committed to play college football at the Utah State University.
College career
As a redshirt freshman freshman in 2013, Vigil started four of 14 games. He finished the season with 57 tackles and a team-leading 5.5 sacks. During his sophomore year, Vigil started all 13 games and finished the season with a team-leading 6 forced fumbles, 6 quarterback hurries, 123 tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, and 7 sacks. As a junior in 2015, he started all 13 games with 144 tackles, which was good enough to be sixth in the nation. After his junior year, he announced his intentions to enter the 2016 NFL Draft.
Professional career
Coming out of Utah State, Vigil was projected to be drafted in the 4th or 5th round. A strong performance at the NFL Combine raised his draft stock. Vigil's 40-yard (4.72), 3-cone (6.73), and 20-yard shuttle (4.0) times were among the best of all the players at linebacker. He also was .04 seconds behind former Bengal's linebacker, A.J. Hawk's combine record for linebackers in the 20-yard shuttle.
The Cincinnati Bengals selected Vigil with the 87th overall pick in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. On May 10, 2016, Vigil signed a 4-year, $3.035 million contract.
