MEMPHIS, Tenn. – University of Memphis football wide receiver Calvin Austin III was named to the 2021 Biletnikoff Award Watch List on Thursday, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc. announced.
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver.
Austin III had a breakout season for the Tigers in 2020, earning First-Team All-American Athletic Conference honors.
