LSU wide receiver [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] has been named to the preseason watch list for the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the top pass-catcher in college football annually.
Nabers is coming off a breakout true sophomore season in which he emerged as the favorite target of transfer quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag]. He finished beyond the 1,000-yard mark, making him the 10th Tiger to do so, and his 72 receptions led the SEC.
Entering 2023, Nabers is seen as potentially the league’s top wideout. He was a preseason First Team All-SEC pick by the media earlier this summer, and if he lives up to those expectations, he could certainly find himself in the running for the Biletnikoff.

This is the 12th time a Tiger has appeared on a preseason watch list this offseason, and it’s the second appearance for Nabers, who was also named to the Maxwell Award watch list with Daniels.
