explosive Hokies back whose juice is undeniable, but 2005 was a grind
In the 2005 season, Mike Imoh led Virginia Tech’s ground game with 419 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns on 106 carries, while adding 40 receiving yards and no fumbles, showing he could be trusted with the ball. His calling card was quickness and versatility: he also owns Virginia Tech’s kick-return record for his era and was praised as a three-star recruit who overachieved. The downside is the durability question, since his senior year was injury-plagued, so he fits best for a team that values burst, special-teams value, and toughness over bell-cow volume.
