Thursday night, college football’s best and brightest stars take center stage on national TV during the 2016 Home Depot College Football Awards Show in primetime on ESPN.
Among those stars is Northwestern senior wide receiver Austin Carr, a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award honoring the nation’s most outstanding receiver. He’s one of three finalists, along with Oklahoma star (and Heisman finalist) Dede Westbrook and East Carolina’s Zay Jones, who leads the nation with an astonishing 158 catches. While Carr doesn’t have quite the raw numbers of his competitors, he certainly belongs in this elite group and is one of the best stories in all of college football.
