BYU’s Gunner Romney added to Biletnikoff Award watch list, James Empey a Rimington Trophy candidate

Gunner Romney is officially a receiver to watch.

After his strong start to the 2020 season — more on that in a bit — Romney was added to the 2020 Biletnikoff Award watch list Wednesday.

The Biletnikoff Award “recognizes the college football season’s outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, split end, inside receiver, slot back or running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award.”

Receivers are periodically added to the list during the season, if their performance warrants consideration. Through four games Romney’s play has more than warranted his inclusion.
