The Biletnikoff Award 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.”
This week, the full list of finalists for the award were announced.
This year’s finalists all hail from the SEC.
Last year, the Biletnikoff Award went to LSU standout Ja’Marr Chase. It was the second straight season that an SEC receiver took home the award and just the second time since 2014 that it did not go to a member of a Big 12 program. The previous winners were Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, James Washington of Oklahoma State, Dede Westbrook of Oklahoma, and Baylor’s Corey Coleman.

The 2020 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented the Biletnikoff Award trophy by TQC Foundation Chairman Steve Dobson, III, college and pro football hall of famer Fred Biletnikoff, and the dynamic and inspiring keynoter and college football hall of famer Lou Holtz before 550 patrons at the Biletnikoff Award Banquet at the University Center Club at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Saturday, March 6, 2021.. 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.”
