UCLA's Jordan Lasley has been added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List in an announcement made on Wednesday morning by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation. The Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver of the season at any position. He joins fellow Bruins Darren Andrews and Caleb Wilson on this year's Biletnikoff Award Watch List.
Lasley, a redshirt junior from Compton, Calif., currently ranks sixth in the nation and second in the Pac-12 Conference in receiving yards per game (116.5). He registered his third 100-yard game of the season with a 146-yard effort in the win over Colorado which helped make him the 36th Bruin receiver to surpass the 1,000-yard receiving yards mark for a career. Lasley added a career-best 158-yard, 11-catch performance at Stanford in week 4. In the season-opener, he capped off the second-largest rally in FBS history by catching the winning touchdown pass in the final minute against Texas A&M to complete a turnaround from a 34-point deficit. Lasley now has five career 100-yard games to his credit.
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., will announce the 10 Biletnikoff Award semifinalists on Nov. 13, following the vote by the members of the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee. Likewise, the three finalists will be declared, following another vote, on Nov. 21. The 2017 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on Dec. 7, on The Home Depot College Football Awards Show to be broadcast 7-9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
