Matt Tilley was a sturdy, blue-collar Hokies edge who flashed real pass-rush juice
In the 2005 season, Virginia Tech’s Matt Tilley showed the kind of work ethic coaches love: he joined the team late, moved from stud end to defensive end in the spring, and still recorded a sack in the Maroon-White game. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 257 pounds, he brought a compact, physical frame and enough versatility to play hard in both team and scout roles. The upside was clear: toughness, quick buy-in, and sneaky disruption. He looks like the type of player who fits a disciplined, attack-minded front.
