Virginia Tech wide receiver Isaiah Ford is the lone Hokie voted to the 2016 All-ACC preseason football team by the league's media.

Ford was a first team All-ACC selection in 2015 by both the media and coaches. The Jacksonville, Florida native set Virginia Tech records for catches (75) and touchdown receptions (11) in single-season last year. Ford also became the first Virginia Tech player to eclipse the 1,000 yard receiving mark in a single season (1,164).
