## Resource

Malachi Overton’s journey from ACL tear before his first college snap to emerging as Virginia Tech’s most explosive back is just beginning. After missing the start of 2025 but exploding in the final four games with 146 yards and a TD run, he’s now heavier, faster, and more confident—leading the spring game in rushing. With a revamped offensive coordinator focused on the ground game and the passing attack struggling, Overton’s role as the No. 2 back is a perfect setup. Healthy for the entire 2025 season, he’s poised to make his mark—and the Hokies’ run game—starting September 5th against VMI.
