Death, taxes, and Penn State football having players named to prestige award watchlists. After Monday’s announcement that quarterback Sean Clifford was named to the Maxwell Award watchlist, it took just a few days for more players to be recognized. On Thursday, Mitchell Tinsley and Parker Washington were both named to the Biletnikoff Award watchlist.
The award, named for former Florida State and Oakland Raider standout Fred Biletnikoff, is given to the nation’s best wide receiver. The fifth-year senior Tinsley is a new Nittany Lion, having transferred from Western Kentucky following a 2021 season where he recorded 87 catches for over 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns.
