With the 2022 college football regular season in the books and Conference Championship Weekend around the corner, the awards are beginning to narrow down their lists of finalists. On Tuesday, November 29, the Biletnikoff Award announced its list of three finalists for the prestigious honor.
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.” It is presented by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation.
This year’s finalists include Ohio State star Marvin Harrison Jr., Tennessee Vols standout Jalin Hyatt, and Xavier Hutchinson of Iowa State.
The Biletnikoff Award Winner will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards which will be held on Thursday, December 8. Rece Davis will host the two-hour special live from ESPN’s studios in Bristol, Connecticut.
