Tallahassee, Fla. -- Senior wideout Brandon Aiyuk has been added to the 2019 The Biletnikoff Award Watch List, announced by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation Wednesday morning.
Aiyuk, a Reno, Nev., native, has recorded 300 yards after the catch this season, a mark that leads the FBS. He ranks eighth nationally, and second in the Pac-12, with 424 receiving yards on the year while also carding an eye popping 129.00 all-purpose yards per game so far this season.
Earlier this season, Aiyuk picked up a 77-yard touchdown reception against Kent State, the longest passing play/score by a Sun Devil since Demario Richard's 93-yard catch and run against New Mexico in 2015.
In total, eight players were added to the watch list on Wednesday morning, including Washington State's Easop Winston Jr. who represented the other Pac-12 representative added. Other additions included Arkansas State's Omar Bayless, LSU's Ja'Marr Chase, Texas' Devin Duvernay, Ole Miss' Elijah Moore, Michigan State's Darrell Stewart Jr. and Wake Forest's Sage Surratt.
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the season's outstanding FBS receiver in college football. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver.
The award recipient is 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. Foundation trustees do not vote and have never voted for the prestigious award.
The 2019 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on December 12, 2019, at the College Football Hall of Fame on The Home Depot College Football Awards presented by Gildan to be broadcast on ESPN.
