On Wednesday, the Biletnikoff Award has a new member on the watchlist: FAU junior wide receiver LaJohntay Wester. The Biletnikoff Award is given out to the most outstanding receiver in college football, according to The Biletnikoff Award’s website.
“It feels good. It signifies the work is paying off. We just need to finish the drill. Finish the mission and complete it by actually accepting the award,” wrote Wester in a statement to the University Press.
The Biletnikoff Award is named after Fred Biletnikoff, who was an All-American in 1964 for Florida State University. He was drafted by the then-Oakland Raiders in 1965, where he recorded 8,974 receiving yards and 76 touchdowns in his career.
