The award is presented annually to the top pass catcher in college football.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville wide receiver Ja’Corey Brooks was named one of the 11 semifinalists for the 2024 Biletnikoff Award, which recognizes any FBS receivers regardless of position.
The Bradenton, Fla., native leads Atlantic Coast Conference in receiving yards and is tied for second in touchdowns and third in receptions. Brooks caught four passes for a season high 125 yards and a score against Georgia Tech and three passes for 125 yards versus SMU, which included a career long 86-yard touchdown reception.
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position 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. Tight end Kyle Pitts was a finalist in 2020 and other tight ends were semifinalists in prior years.
Receivers are frequently added to the watch list as their season performances dictate. Actual, not potential, performance is the basis for inclusion on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List.
