Shenault Added to Biletnikoff Watch List
September 25, 2018 | Football
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Sophomore WR Laviska Shenault has been added to the 2018 Biletnikoff Awards Pre-Season Watch List, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced Tuesday. The award is presented to the outstanding FBS receiver in college football regardless of position.
Shenault was one of 11 players added to the list that was originally announced on July 19. Receivers are periodically added to the watch list as dictated by season performance.Â
Shenault leads the nation in receptions per game (8.7) and receiving yards per game (151.7) despite sitting out the second half of the New Hampshire game.  He opened the season becoming the fourth player in CU history to record a 200-yard receiving game with 11 catches for 211 yards. When he connected with QB Steven Montez on an 89-yard touchdown against the Rams, it marked the fourth-longest pass play in CU history and longest since 2002. Â
Against Nebraska, Shenault recorded 10 catches for 177 yards and the game-winning touchdown with just over a minute left. He also scored a rushing touchdown on and 4th-and-G situation earlier in the game. He became the third player in the Mike MacIntyre era to score a rushing and receiving touchdown in the same game, joining Phillip Lindsay and George Frazier.Â
In one half of action against New Hampshire, he had five catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. He became the first CU player to have a receiving touchdown in the first three games since Nelson Spruce in 2014.Â
The Buffs return to the field after a bye week on Friday when UCLA visits. The game will be televised nationally by FS1 and kickoff at 7 p.m. MT.
