What is your full name?
Ryan William Moody

Where are you from?
Ashburn, Va.

What is Ashburn best known for?
Washington Redskins practice facility. It is also home of the Stonebridge Bulldogs. We went to the state championship twice while I was in school and won my senior year.

Are you a Redskins fan?
I am not, Dallas Cowboys all the way.

Was that a thorn in side of everyone you knew?
Yes, we have a family breakup - my stepmother is a Redskins fan and my father is a diehard Dallas Cowboy fan, along with the rest of my family.

What is your favorite show on TV?
Right now I definitely have to go with "Suits".  It's on USA on Thursday at 10 o'clock. It's the best show out right now.

Were you a walk-on at William and Mary?
I was a walk-on.  In 2008 I came in as a walk-on and was put on scholarship my redshirt junior year.

How did it feel to earn your scholarship?
When I came in as a freshman, coach told me a lot of walk-ons here at William and Mary get put on scholarship through hard work.  I think with being on the scout team my freshman year, playing a little as a redshirt freshman, and getting into the rotation and doing something for the team, my redshirt sophomore year helped prove and pave the way to get a scholarship from Coach Laycock. 

How is the experience for a walk-on?
We are all treated the same, whether you are on scholarship or not.  Opportunities are the same, so you just have to make the most out of them.

What music are you currently listening to?
Mixtape from Lil Wayne called the Dedication 4.

What is your favorite movie?
Right now that would have to be Batman, Dark Knight Rises.  I think half the team saw it twice if not three times.

What did you do with your summer?
I had a six-week internship with Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.

What were you able to do at that internship?
It was a great opportunity to grow as a person, not only in the business world, but to tone up my professional skills.
