For the very first time, Tennessee has a Biletnikoff Award winner — it’s Jalin Hyatt, of course. The junior from Irmo, South Carolina was recognized as the best receiver in the country on Thursday night.
Hyatt beat out Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. and Iowa State’s Xavier Hutchinson for the award.
