Jackson Added to Biletnikoff Award Watch List

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Orange redshirt junior Trishton Jackson was one of five receivers added to the 2019 Biletnikoff Award Watch List by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation on Monday, Nov. 11. The award is named after legendary Florida State and Oakland Raiders star Fred Biletnikoff and is presented to the nation's outstanding receiver regardless of position.

Jackson is one of two Syracuse receivers on this year's watch list, joining senior Sean Riley.

Jackson leads the Orange with 51 receptions for 780 yards (15.3 avg.) and eight touchdowns. His eight scoring grabs are tied for second in the ACC and his 86.7 receiving yards per game rank fourth. The West Bloomfield, Michigan native has four 100-yard receiving games this season and has become one of the top deep threats in the conference. Jackson is tied for the ACC lead with eight 30+ yard receptions, including four touchdown catches of at least 40 yards.

Additions to the Biletnikoff Watch List are announced periodically during the season based on performance. The 10 semifinalists for the award will be announced on Nov. 18 and the three finalists will be named on Nov. 25. The winner will be announced live during The Home Depot College Football Awards Show on Thursday, Dec. 12 on ESPN.

Monday's four other watch list additions were: Tutu Atwell (Louisville), Lucky Jackson (Western Kentucky), Jauan Jennings (Tennessee) and Tre Walker (San Jose State).
