TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (TQC/SMU) – Junior wide receiver Trey Quinn has been added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., announced Wednesday. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the outstanding receiver in college football, regardless of position.
 
Quinn leads the Mustangs with 587 yards on 54 receptions in 2017, and is second on the team with five touchdowns. In SMU's game against Houston last week, he posted career highs in receptions (17) and yards (156), and posted his third career 100-yard game. In the win over UConn on Sept. 30, Quinn registered 15 receptions, including 11 in the first half to set the SMU record, for 116 yards with two touchdowns.
 
Quinn joins wide receiver Courtland Sutton on the 2017 Watch List. In the game at Houston, the pair became the first since Jeremy Johnson (11) and Darius Joseph (12) in 2013 to record 10+ catches in a game, and the first since Keenan Holman (209) and Der'rikk Thompson (158) in 2013 to record 150+ yards apiece.
 
Fans can vote for both in the Biletnikoff Award FanVote here. Every fan may vote once daily on the Biletnikoff Award FanVote page. The aggregate fan tally is counted as one official vote to determine semi-finalists (ten receivers), finalists (three) and the winner.
 
The 2017 award will be presented live on Dec. 7 on ESPN as part of The Home Depot College Football Awards Show at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. Ten semifinalists for the award will be announced Nov. 13, while the list will be narrowed down to three on Nov. 21.
