The Biletnikoff Award is given to the season’s most outstanding receiver, with the most recent winner being Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. Winning the praise wouldn’t be new for a Bear, as in 2015, Baylor wide receiver Corey Coleman took home the hardware. Bringing the award back to Waco may not be too big of a stretch with offensive coordinator Jake Spavital’s Air Raid offense inducing a heavy dose of passing.
Baylor junior wide receiver Antwan Goodley was one of six receivers added to the Biletnikoff award watch list after a stellar start to the season. Goodley joins fellow teammate senior wide receiver Tevin Reese as one of two Baylor representatives on the watch list.
The Fred Biletnikoff Award is given yearly to the “nation’s outstanding college football receiver” by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation Inc. Former Baylor receiver Terrance Williams was a finalist for the award last year and receiver Kendall Wright was a semifinalist the year before.
