As the college football season winds down, the top awards are cutting down their lists of potential winners. On Tuesday, November 23, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc. announced its full list of finalists for the 2021 Biletnikoff Award.
Three players have been named finalists for the award which is awarded annually to the top pass catcher in the FBS.
Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. In the past, the prestigious award has been given to stars like Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss, with recent honors going to JaMarr Chase, DeVonta Smith, Jerry Jeudy, and Amari Cooper.
Here are this year’s finalists:

The semifinalists, finalists, and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners, and other former receivers. Recently, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation opened the 2021 FanVote. Every fan may vote once daily on the Biletnikoff Award FanVote page.
The 2021 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented the Biletnikoff Award trophy by TQC Foundation Chairman Roger Champion, keynoter and college hall of famer and two-time Heisman Trophy winner Archie Griffin, and college and pro football hall of famer Fred Biletnikoff at the Biletnikoff Award Banquet & Celebration at the University Center Club at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Saturday, March 5, 2022. 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.”
