Biletnikoff Award
The Fred Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the most outstanding receiver in American college football by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc. (TQCF), an independent not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The award was created in 1994. The award is named for Fred Biletnikoff, who played college football at Florida State and professionally with the Oakland Raiders and Montreal Alouettes. Any NCAA Division I FBS player who catches the football through a forward pass is eligible to be selected as the award winner, though in practice, and as it has been awarded to a player at that position every year, it is considered a ''de facto'' honor for the sport's most outstanding wide receiver. Tight end Kyle Pitts of the University of Florida was one of 3 Biletnikoff Award finalists in 2020. A national selection committee consisting of over 600 journalists, commentators, broadcasters, and former players selects the award winner. No member of the board of trustees of th ...
