Virginia senior wide receiver Billy McMullen was among 32 players selected for the "watch list" for the Fred Biletnikoff award, given annually to the nation's top receiver. McMullen was named a third-team All-American last year as he snagged 83 passes for 1,060 yards and 12 touchdowns -- all of which led the ACC.
His 83 pass receptions eclipsed NFL wideout Herman Moore's previous school record by a staggering 29 catches. McMullen ranks fourth among returning college receivers in receptions, tied for third in touchdowns and ninth in yards.
Past winners of the Biletnikoff award include Randy Moss, Terry Glenn and Troy Edwards. The award was named for Fred Biletnikoff, an All-American at Florida State in the 1960s who went on to become a storied receiver in Oakland Raiders lore.
