Prior to joining the NFL, Vilma played college football at the University of Miami. Starting in 2000 as middle linebacker, he led the team in tackles for three straight years from 2001-2003. Along with his success on the field, Vilma was a three-time Academic All-Big East Conference. He earned a Bachelor's degree in finance from the University of Miami's School of Business Administration.
