Pitt receiver Jordan Addison won the Biletnikoff Award on Thursday night, capping off an outstanding sophomore season in which he led the nation in touchdown receptions and ranked third in receiving yards. Addison beat out Alabama receiver Jameson Williams and Purdue receiver David Bell for the honor.
The Biletnikoff Award was first issued in 1994 and has since been given annually to the most outstanding FBS receiver. Addison is the third Pitt receiver to win the honor, with the first being Antonio Bryant in 2000 and the second being Larry Fitzgerald in 2003. No other program has more Biletnikoff winners than Pitt, and the total of three has only been matched by Alabama and Oklahoma State.
