The next stop on our tour of preseason watch lists is the Biletnikoff Award.
The award is presented annually to the top receiver in college football. Last year’s winner was USC’s Marqise Lee.
Lee is featured as one of 75 players on this year’s Biletnikoff preseason watch list. Other notable preseason candidates include Jared Abbrederis (Wisconsin), Amari Cooper (Alabama), Stefon Diggs (Maryland), Rashad Green (Florida State), and Sammy Watkins (Clemson). The SEC leads all major conferences with 14 candidates, followed by the ACC and Big 12 with 10. The list is not final, however, as players can be added to it later.
The winner of this year’s award will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Dec. 12, 2013.
As always, you can view the entire list of preseason candidates below. You can now also check out our preseason watch lists repository HERE.
