Football. Taywan Taylor Named a Biletnikoff Semifinalist

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Well on his way to a career year, senior Taywan Taylor added another honor to his prestigious resume, as the WKU wide receiver was named a 2016 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist Monday morning. It’s the second-consecutive season the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc. included Taylor among the final 10 to be considered for the outstanding receiver in college football.

So far this season, Taylor has earned a spot on the Midseason ProFootballFocus.com All-American team, as well as Senior Bowl Offensive Senior of the Week honors following his WKU record-setting, 12-catch, 197-yard performance at Middle Tennessee in Week 7.
