Happy Friday, friends and fans!
On Thursday, Oklahoma Sooners WR CeeDee Lamb and TE Grant Calcaterra were both announced as players on the 2019 Biletnikoff Award watch list. The two juniors are expected to do much of the heavy lifting this fall for OU’s passing game.
Typically, the Biletnikoff Award is given to a more conventional receiver like Lamb as opposed to a tight end like Calcaterra, so I wouldn’t expect to see No. 80 as a finalist for this award. I could, however, envision him making a real run at the Mackey Award, which is specifically intended for TE’s ala winner Mark Andrews in 2017.
