Mike Imoh

Born and raised in Fairfax, Virginia, a suburb southwest of Washington, D.C., Imoh attended Robinson Secondary School and starred as a tailback in football and a sprinter in track.

As a senior, he led the Rams to the 6A state championship in football in the fall of 2001 and enrolled at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg in 2002.

[2] Following the 2003 season, Imoh and two teammates – Marcus Vick and Brendan Hill – were convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for allegedly serving alcohol to three underage girls.

Against North Carolina, Imoh broke the Virginia Tech single game rushing record set the previous year by Kevin Jones.

Due to a record keeping error with the official statistics, Imoh was originally credited with only 236 yards – five short of Jones' total – but Tech's radio statistician noticed a discrepancy between his notes and the official total and was able to have the error corrected.
