Oklahoma’s star wide receiver was named to the Biletnikoff Award semifinalist list alongside 11 others from across the country.

If Lamb were to win the award, he would be just the second Sooner to do so. Since the award has been founded, only Dede Westbrook has been awarded the honor for his 2016 season. Westbrook also finished in the top four in Heisman voting, taking the trip to New York City with Baker Mayfield.

Lamb would make the eighth Big 12 winner, following Westbrook, Oklahoma State’s James Washington (2017), and Justin Blackmon (2010-11), Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree (2007-08) and Baylor’s Corey Coleman (2015).

Notable names who made the semifinal list include last years winner, Jerry Jeudy, from Alabama, his teammate DeVonta Smith, Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson of LSU and Omar Bayless from Arkansas State.

Lamb, so far on the season has 44 receptions for 983 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Oklahoma plays TCU this Saturday at 7 p.m. CT on FOX.
