Biletnikoff Award Adds Nine Players To Watch List—Fans Can Vote for Favorite Receiver at Fan Vote and Discuss Sports Issues at Forum

Media Release – September 17, 2013

Tallahassee, FL - Demonstrating the exceptional depth of talent of college football receivers, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., the creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, presented to college football’s outstanding receiver, added nine receivers to its watch list today.

The nine receivers joining the Biletnikoff Award Watch List are:

Jace Amaro, JR – Texas Tech
Dres Anderson, JR – Utah
Corey Davis, FR – Western Michigan
Devante Davis, JR – UNLV
Dezmon Epps, JR – Idaho
Tony Jones, JR – Northwestern
Dominic Rufran, JR – Wyoming
Jamill Smith, SR – Ball State
Bryce Treggs, SO – Cal

Today’s watch list addition may well not be the last this season. The Foundation, when appropriate, periodically will add receivers to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List (based upon performance) up to the commencement of voting by the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee.

In other exciting news,the Biletnikoff Award has opened its online Fan Vote for the Biletnikoff Award candidates on the Biletnikoff Award website. Every fan can vote once daily on the Biletnikoff Award Fan Vote page. The aggregate fan tally will be counted as one official vote for semi-finalists (ten receivers), finalists (three), and the winner.

Who Is Going to Win the Biletnikoff Award in 2013?

 

My early money is on Mike Evans of Texas A&M. Why? Evans is destroying the stats line and is leading the nation in receiving. He has Johnny Football Manziel throwing balls to him. Evans is fast and big–he will turn a bunch of quick ins into long gains after breaking the first tackle. He is tall and a leaper–which was evident against Alabama when he caught long passes in a crowd by out leaping the defenders. And the A&M aerial circus is not going to close shop.

Other comments. It is surprising, actually stunning, that Clemson fans are not supporting Sammy Watkins at the Biletnikoff Award Fan Vote. Penn State, Oregon,Texas Tech, Oregon State, Cal, Texas A&M, and a number of other fan bases are voting for their receivers. Not Clemson. Their fans were screaming bloody murder that Sammy wasn’t on the 2012 Biletnikoff Award Watch List last year despite the rules of the award clearly prohibiting a player suspended by the NCAA or his school (Watkins was suspended by Clemson for the early part of the season) from being placed on the watch list. Sammy, a very talented player, had a poor 2012, missing almost every top 100 list in receiving stats. I remember a sports writer in SC, a Biletnikoff Award voter listed on your web site, who decried in anguish the injustice of the BA’s not listing Sammy on the pre-season watch list. Apparently, he did not mention the prohibition of placing a suspended player on the watch list–despite his having access, as does the public, to the rules on your award’s web site.

 

Marqise Lee of Southern Cal must be praying for a q’back, because no one is doing well throwing passes for the Trojans. USC fans, as well, are missing in action in their Fan Vote support for Lee (and Nelson Agholor, too).

After only a few games it is hard to seperate the best of the bunch.  The 3 that have stood out to me are Evans at T-A&M -ALA could not stop him, Lee at USC is proven but teams are finding ways to stop him-SC will have to put in in motion to use his skills, Watkins at Clemson will have 3 more TV games to show his worth. With the #2 WR at clemson out Watkins will be more of a go to type.

 

Coach of the year will be an easier pick -I have crossed off Mack Brown the list

OHC, pretty safe bet that Mack Brown will not win any coach of the year awards.LaughLaughLaughLaugh

I love KissKiss receivers. Brandin Cooks, Jace Amaro, Amari Cooper, Odell Beckham, Jeremy Gallon, Deontay Greenberry, Josh Huff, Jordan Matthews, Paul Richardson, Sammy Watkins (behave yourself this year, Sammy!), Allen Robinson, Dres Anderson, Bryce Treggs, Tony Jones, and Marqise Lee are great, fantastic. Gotta be really good to make the Biletnikoff Award watch list. No single position designation (receiver) has more or better players in today's college game.

The BA guy in 2013 is going to be......Mike Evans. Stud of a receiver!KissKiss

I want to amend this post with some observations.

Brandin Cooks is having a fantastic year at Oregon State. But, will the voters see much of him on tv? Same with Paul Richardson of Colorado and Allen Robinson of Penn State.

Same with Willie Snead at Ball State and Jordan Matthews of Vandy

Now, let's watch Odell Beckham, Jr., as LSU may make a title run and that will place the voters' focus on him.

If you scan the top 20 receivers' stats, only Texas A&M's Mike Evans and Beckham are on teams that look to get far in the BCS ranks.

I cannot remember seeing 2 of the pre-season top 5 Biletnikoff Award favorites ever fade like Sammy Watkins and Marqise Lee, or be so utterly abandoned by their fan bases in supporting them for the Biletnikoff Award.

One Handed  Catch, I believe LSU's Jarvis Landry should be added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List.

Tyler Lockett of K State, too.

What do you think?

HSC: Those are credible choices. I like Evans because of the usage issue. He will get 10 balls a game minimum thrown toward him. Most will have big play possibilities because of the pattern type, his speed and size, and Manziel's ability to put the ball on the mark.

Matthews and Cooks are superb receivers. Robinson, Richardson, and Beckham have the tools. Crowder is an excellent returner, as well, but the first and second string Qbs are done and the third stringer isn't much of a passer. Matthews may be the best of the lot in the NFL, but Evans will be a star because he has Calvin Johnson tools.

Marqise Lee injured his knee on a punt return in USC's 62-41 loss to Arizona State on 9-28-2013. He was carted to the locker room. He has a $10 million dollar insurance policy that pays off if he is unable to play football again and also a payoff for a lesser amount if his draft position drops significantly because of an injury. Mel Kiper had listed him as the top receiver in the draft.

Best of luck to Marqise for full recovery.

2:34 AM - 29 Sep *****************************************************************************************************

Unfortunately, reports have Marqise Lee's having suffered a severely sprained knee. See below the description from Harvard Medical School what that specific diagnosis means:

"Like other types of sprains, knee sprains are classified according to a grading system:

  • Grade I (mild) — This injury stretches the ligament, which causes microscopic tears in the ligament. These tiny tears don't significantly affect the overall ability of the knee joint to support your weight.
  • Grade II (moderate) — The ligament is partially torn, and there is some mild to moderate instability (or periodic giving out) of the knee while standing or walking.
  • Grade III (severe) — The ligament is torn completely or separated at its end from the bone, and the knee is more unstable.
Image Enlarger

When one knee ligament suffers a serious sprain, there is a good chance that other parts of the knee may also be injured. For example, because the MCL helps to protect the ACL from certain types of extreme knee forces, the ACL can become vulnerable to injury when the MCL is torn. In more than half of moderate or severe MCL sprains, the ACL also is sprained.

Knee sprains are very common. ACL sprains tend to cause more significant symptoms compared to MCL injuries. Many MCL sprains are so mild that they don't result in a visit to a doctor.

More than any other group, competitive athletes have a very high risk of knee sprains and other types of knee problems. In U.S. high schoolsicon1.png, the knee is the most frequently injured joint among athletes who compete in football, soccer or wrestling."

 

 

The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, the creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, wish Marqise a full recovery and all the best.

Here are the NCAA football receiving stats after the 5th week.

http://www.cbssports.com/colle.....sort/NCAAF

The production by Cooks, Evans,Snead, Matthews and the others in the top echelon is astounding. Greenberry has only played 4 games. We might be looking, based on stats, at a Cooks, Evans, and Matthews trio as finalists. They all play tough schedules.

Hot Sports Chick, your choices are excellent. I am very sorry Marqise Lee hurt his knee and I wish him a speedy recovery!

I would add LSU's Beckham and Landry, as well as Duke's Crowder to the list of worthy Biletnikoff Award finalists (3).

Welcome to the Biletnikoff Award Forum, federer_fan. I have enjoyed your interesting posts!

Brandin Cooks' chances depend on how much visibility the Oregon State Beavers have--they need to win a big game (Oregon?) and gain a high poll standing. Oregon State's Mannion is putting up some really outstanding passing numbers--the Pac 12 looks a bit loose again on defense. In a pinch, I will go with Evans of A&M because he will always have Manziel and the spotlight.

As of 10-7-2013, my top 10 (semi-finalists) are in no order: Beckham, Landry, Evans, Cooks, Snead, Matthews, Crowder, Allen Robinson, Richardson, and Abbrederis. Campanaro and Goodley are close to cracking the top 10!

I've covered college sports for 30 plus years, was a trustee for the Biletnikoff Award for a while, and am still not clear how you can select the best player at any position let alone the Heisman winner. But Walter Manley asked me to post my thoughts here, so here I go.

As an FSU beat writer I saw FSU players and whatever teams FSU was playing. I could watch them block downfield and see what they were doing when the ball wasn't thrown their way. I had real opinions about the players I watched but I couldn't tell you the first thing about players I hadn't seen in person.

And don't give me television. Watching a college football game on television is about as fulfilling as watching a dirty movie by yourself.

How do you evaluate a football player off of highlight clips? 

All you see is the best catches, not the missed blocks, or the bad routes where the quarterback had to take a sack or dump the ball down.

But picking the best player is fun for fans and that makes it a good thing; kind of an old fashioned fantasy football league.

To me picking the best receiver, or lineman, is like picking the hottest chick at the Miss America contest. Hell, they all look good to me, different but good.

If you like blondes, then you'll look right past most of those southern Europeans. If you like bust lines, you might have missed that Russian redhead with the legs that go from Atlantic City to Moscow.

You get my point?

My problem is I like birds of all feathers. American, South American, Asian... if they're pretty, I like em. On television they all look good to me. On paper their stats do too... 36-22-34, 40-26-38, don't matter... line em up, strut em by, and I'm Happy, Happy Happy.

Until I meet them. Until I see them in action. Then I can pick em apart. Then I find fault with damn near everyone of them.

Football players are like that. The stats don't tell half the story most times. And the highlight tapes don't tell you what they did on a play when the ball didn't come their way.

I'm looking at the list you're evaluating and agree receptions, yards, and touchdowns are a couple of indicators of quality but how about yards after catch, touchdown to catch ratio and rushing yards? How about effectiveness as a blocker which is not so obvious but integral to a winning team?

And what about performance in big games? Diggs came into Doak as the No. 4 receiver on the above list and caught two balls with no touchdowns and apparently didn't help much in the running game as MD had just 35 yards with 7 yards the longest.  Meanwhile Rashad Greene, who has one of the highest touchdowns to receptions ratios in the nation, caught 4 for 108 yards and shared the wealth with Kelvin Benjamin (5), Kenny Shaw (5), Nick Oleary (4) and five other receivers and sprung FSU runners on multiple double digit runs.

Next week I'll get to see another great passing combo when FSU plays at Clemson where Tajh Boyd is the real deal and Sammie Watkins is a difference maker like Greene, Benjamin and Shaw. Watkins can run, catch, block and is generally in the middle of the big play.

How do these receivers and quarterbacks compare to each other or to the rest of the nation?

I don't have a clue.

But I'll be there, enjoying watching them, but thankfully not as much as I enjoy watching the legs on that Russian redhead.

You all have a daunting task my friends in choosing the best receiver in the field. It's a task I know you all take seriously and I applaud you for the effort. Enjoy your journey.

Great post, Jerry Kutz. Please come again and express your opinion. I like the way this board treats fellow posters.

Ty Montgomery of Stanford (Indians, now Cardinal) and Jordan Williams of Ball State were added to the watch list. Both are superb talents.
