CINCINNATI, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University sophomore Justin Moody (Richmond, Va.-Monacan) has been named a Second Team All-American on special teams by Pro Football Focus.
Moody played in 11 games for EMU but made a statement on special teams.

Of those 49 stops, 12 occurred while playing special teams. Moody recorded 10 takedowns on kickoff and two more on punt returns.
