Bo Melton named to Biletnikoff Award Watch List

Rutgers received a huge boost on the offensive side of the ball when Bo Melton announced his return for the 2021 season. Now, Melton has a chance to make some noise nationally.

On Thursday, Melton was named to the Fred Biletnikoff Award Watch List. This announcement comes just three days after Olakunle Fatukasi was named to the Bednarik Award Watch List, given to the top linebacker in the nation.

This award is given to the nation’s best wide receiver in college football. It is named after the legendary receiver who starred at Florida State and went onto have a nice career with the Oakland Raiders.
