The Virginia Tech Hokies are having a solid season in their first year under head coach Justin Fuente. The offense has been rolling, and wide receiver Isaiah Ford has been putting up some solid numbers.

The junior receiver has already caught 46 passes for 648 yards and six touchdowns. At 6’2” and 190 pounds, Ford has great footwork and speed to create separation and burn past defensive backs. He has soft hands and is capable of making tough catches in traffic.

For a receiver that’s 6’2”, Ford could stand to add some weight to his frame once he’s in the NFL. His inconsistency is also a bit of a concern, but the flashes he’s shown this season are enough for him to land in the top 50 prospects halfway through the season.
