As the 2019 college football season rolls on, award watchlists are beginning to take shape. Following Week 4 of the season, the Biletnikoff Award has announced 8 new additions to its watchlist for the award.
The Biletnikoff is handed out annually to “any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award.”
Last year, the Biletnikoff Award went to Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy. It was the first time since 2014 when fellow Alabama star Amari Cooper brought home the award that it did not go to a member of a Big 12 program. The previous winners were James Washington of Oklahoma State, Dede Westbrook of Oklahoma, and Baylor’s Corey Coleman.
The 8 new players can be seen below.

The banquet was hailed by 2014 keynote speaker Dick Vermeil, as well as by 2013 keynoter Larry Csonka, as “the best banquet in college sports.”
