U.S. Army Capt. Jacob Moberly, a 2019 Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets alumnus who earned his degree in political science from the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, was selected as the Hokie Hero for Saturday’s football game against Georgia Tech.
The Hokie Hero program honors corps alumni who are deployed. Recipients are highlighted by Bill Roth and Mike Burnop during their radio broadcast of Hokie football games, on the Corps of Cadets website, and in the Corps Review alumni magazine.
Moberly is deployed to eastern Europe with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 101st Infantry Division. He commands a company made up of six platoons tasked with drone operations, electronic and anti-tank warfare, mortar operations, and scouting. During his time in the corps, Moberly was a member of Alpha, Foxtrot, and Echo companies and Phi Kappa Phi.
