RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State fifth-year wide receiver Emeka Emezie has been named to the preseason watch list for the 2021 Biletnikoff Award, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc. announced today.
Â
Emezie will enter the season ranked fifth in school history in receptions with 169 – the top mark among returning ACC players. His 2,093 career receiving yards rank seventh-best ever for a Wolfpack receiver. He has led NC State in receptions each of the past two seasons.
Â
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.
Â
The 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.
