A-State’s Rucker Tabbed to Biletnikoff Award Watch List

JONESBORO, Ark. (8/6/25) – Arkansas State senior wide receiver Corey Rucker has been named to the 2025 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, announced Wednesday by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation.

The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes college football's outstanding FBS receiver, regardless of position. Rucker becomes the seventh all-time Arkansas State player to find a place on the prestigious watch list, joining Te'Vailance Hunt (2022), Jonathan Adams Jr. (2020), Omar Bayless (2019), Kirk Merritt (2019), J.D. McKissic (2013) and Dwayne Frampton (2011). Adams and Bayless were tabbed semifinalists for the award last season.

Rucker enters the 2025 season with the most career receiving yards in Arkansas State history (3,037), second-most career touchdown catches (23) and second-most career receptions (180).
