[autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] was named a Biletnikoff Award finalist on Tuesday. The Biletnikoff is awarded annually to the best pass-catcher in college football.
Nabers leads the country with 1,546 receiving yards, over 100 more than second-place Malik Washington with 1,426 yards.
After leading the SEC in catches last year, Nabers entered the year with high expectations. He took it to another level, becoming a premier big play threat, leading the country with 34 20+ yard plays to go along with 12 touchdowns and 86 catches.
Nabers is threatening to break LSU’s all-time receiving yards record, and if he plays in the bowl game, he’ll need just 22 yards to surpass [autotag]Josh Reed[/autotag].
Nabers would be the third receiver in LSU’s history to take the Biletnikoff home along with Reed in 2001 and [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag] in 2019.
