Gray Added To Biletnikoff Award Watch List
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (TQCF/SMU) – Danny Gray is one of six student-athletes added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, which honors the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver and is presented annually by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc.
The award recognizes any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back and running back) who catches a pass.
Gray had career highs in receptions (8) and yards (140) to lead the Mustangs in their most recent win over Tulane. It was his second 100-yard game of the season and third of his career. At TCU, Gray posted a 100-yard game with 130 yards off four receptions. His 68-yard TD catch was a career long.
He opened the season with five straight games with a TD catch, including a pair against ACU and USF.
Gray joins Rashee Rice and Reggie Roberson, Jr., on the watch list. This is the 13th consecutive year a Mustang has made the list dating back to 2009. SMU is one of only 11 teams with multiple student-athletes listed in 2021, and one of only two (Nevada) with three players. This is the third straight season that the Mustangs have had at least two players mentioned.
The semifinalists, finalists and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners and other former receivers.
Fan voting opens on Sept. 30, and semifinalists will be announced Nov. 22. Voting continues to determine the three finalists, which will be announced Nov. 29. A final voting period to determine the winner runs Nov. 29-Dec. 5.
The winner will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards Dec. 9 and honored at the Biletnikoff Award Banquet & Celebration March 5.
