Virginia Tech’s walk-on receiver who climbed the depth chart with steady hands
In the 2001 season, Ronald Moody flashed as a reliable, low-drama Virginia Tech wideout, finishing with 3 catches for 31 yards after earning his way from walk-on status. Virginia Tech’s own media guide described him as a solid receiver with good hands who improved steadily and added special-teams value, which is the kind of gritty, coach-friendly profile that matters even when the box score is modest. He looks like a depth piece with toughness, feel for the position, and upside as a dependable role player rather than a featured star.
