Published:
Biletnikoff Award is a prestigious honor that goes to the best receiver in college football. Ohio State’s Marvin Harrison Jr. and Purdue’s Charlie Jones are among the semifinalists going into Week 13 of the 2022 season.
Ten other receivers from around the country were chosen as semifinalists. Last year’s winner was Jordan Addison, who won the award last season with Pitt before transferring to USC earlier this year.

In eleven games this season, Harrison has caught 65 receptions for 1,037 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns. He is second in the B1G and eighth in the nation in receiving yards. This is a big breakout year for Harrison, who caught just 11 receptions for 139 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns last season.
Jones has 1,056 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns for Purdue this year. This season is his first year with the Boilermakers after two years at Iowa and one year at Buffalo. In his three previous seasons, Jones had 718 yards receiving and 6 touchdowns.
Jones leads the B1G in receiving yards and is sixth in the nation. Can one of these two B1G WRs bring home the award?
