Ohio State Wide Receiver Emeka Egbuka Named to Biletnikoff Award Watch List

Ohio State could go back-to-back.

On Wednesday, Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka was named a preseason candidate for the Biletnikoff Award, an honor presented to college football's best pass catcher. Egbuka will look to become the second consecutive Buckeye to win the Biletnikoff after Marvin Harrison Jr. took home the award in 2023.
