Hobert on Biletnikoff Award Watch List

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Texas State's Joey Hobert was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List on Tuesday by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation. He was one of three players from the Sun Belt Conference that were recognized.
 
Last year, Hobert was also selected to the Biletnikoff Award Watch list while also claiming All-Sun Belt and Dave Campbell's All-Texas Second Team honors. He led the Bobcats last season with 76 receptions and 895 yards while his eight touchdown receptions were tied for the most on the squad. His 6.9 receptions per game placed him third in the conference and 12th in the nation.
 
Hobert recorded five 100-yard receiving games including a stretch of four in a five-game span from Sept. 30 against Southern Miss to Nov. 4 against Georgia Southern. He hauled in a season-high 141 yards against the Eagles on 13 receptions.
 
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver. Tight end Kyle Pitts was a finalist in 2020 and other tight ends were semifinalists in prior years. Moreover, the Biletnikoff Award is a single season, not career, award.
 
The semifinalists, finalists, and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of 600 prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners, and other former receivers. Foundation trustees do not vote and have never voted. For a list of voters, please see BiletnikoffAward.com/voters.
