Maybe it was just an oversight? Maybe they just forgot to type his name?
I've made it pretty clear over the years how worthless I think watch lists, semifinalist lists, etc., are. (Spoiler: pretty worthless.) I didn't understand the point of these things before Danario Alexander went unnamed as a Biletnikoff Award finalist in 2009, and after that, I mostly stopped paying attention.
Kudos, then, to an award committee that figured out a way to get me to write about awards again.
