James Washington named Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist

James Washington has been named one of ten semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the country’s most outstanding receiver regardless of position. Washington has recorded 56 receptions for 1132 yards and 9 touchdowns this season. Here are the other semifinalists that were named Monday morning:

  • Austin Carr, Northwestern
  • Corey Davis, Western Michigan
  • Amba Etta-Tawo, Syracuse
  • Carlos Henderson, Louisiana Tech
  • Isaiah “Zay”Jones, East Carolina
  • John Ross, Washington
  • Taywan Taylor, Western Kentucky
  • Trent Taylor, Louisiana Tech
  • James Washington, Oklahoma State
  • Dede Westbrook, Oklahoma

Washington is No. 8 in total receiving yards on the season in the country, but what hurts him is his volume. He ranks 41st in total receptions per game with just 5.6 receptions per game. That’s a testament to what he has been able to do in his limited touches, still sitting in the top 10 in total receiving yards per game at 113.2.

Here is how he stacks up in yards per reception (via NCAA.com)
