Receiver looks to build on record breaking 2015
The preseason All-A.C.C. team has been released, and Isaiah Ford was named to the prestigious team. Ford joins fellow juniors Artavis Scott (Clemson), and Travis Rudolph (F.S.U.) on the WR corps. Ford had a monster 2015, becoming the first 1,000 yard receiver in Virginia Tech history.

In 2015, Ford had a total of 75 catches for 1,164 yards. He found the endzone an incredible 11 times, including 3 in a single quarter!. Ford will likely be the target of the Hokies’ opponents this season, so it will be interesting how Coach Fuente will adjust to get the ball in this playmaker’s hands. While no official depth chart has been released, it is expected that Ford will be joined by Cam Phillips and Deon Newsome for the bulk of the snaps. The receiving corps will be deeper this season, but look for Ford to have a monster 2016.
