Nation's top receiver
Junior wide receiver Bradley Rozner has been named to the 2021 Biletnikoff Award Preseason Watch List, which was announced on Thursday by The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc.
Rozner is a repeat member of the watch list despite missing the 2020 season with an injury.
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.
In his first season with the Owls in 2019 after transferring from Cisco College, Rozner lead the team with 770 receiving yards and five touchdowns while placing second with 55 receptions. He was also second in Conference USA with four 100-yard receiving games, including a season-high 138 yards at UTSA and earned honorable mention all-conference honors from C-USA coaches. He was the first Rice receiver to top the century mark four times in a season since Jordan Taylor in 2014.
He burst out of the gates with a pair of 100-yard receiving days in his first four games, the first Owl to do so since 2006 Biletnikoff finalist Jarett Dillard and James Casey each topped the mark in the first four games of the 2008 campaign.
Semifinalists, finalists, and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners, and other former receivers. Foundation trustees do not vote and have never voted. For a list of voters, please see http://biletnikoffaward.com/voters.
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.
The Biletnikoff Award candidate eligibility and voting criteria, transparently explicit and detailed, are available for review at http://biletnikoffaward.com/criteria.
