Junior wide receiver Taj Harris has earned a spot on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, which was announced on Thursday. Harris is one-of-51 players named to the list for the award that recognizes college football's top receiver, regardless of position.
Â
Harris earned All-ACC Third Team honors last season when he ranked fifth in the league in receptions per game (5.8) and sixth in receiving yards per game (73.3). He started all 10 games for the Orange and led the squad with 58 receptions for 733 yards and five touchdowns.
Harris is the second Orange offensive player to be named to a national award watch list in as many days. Sean Tucker represented 'Cuse on the Doak Walker Award Watch List on Wednesday.
Â
The semifinalists, finalists, and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners, and other former receivers. The 2021 winner will be presented the Biletnikoff Award trophy at the Biletnikoff Award Banquet & Celebration at the University Center Club at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Saturday, March 5, 2022.
Â
Season tickets for the 2021 campaign are now on sale. For less than $20 per game, fans can get access to every game of a home slate that features Clemson and Liberty – both of which finished in the top-20 of the 2020 AP Poll – matchups with longtime rivals Boston College and Pitt, an old-BIG EAST reunion against Rutgers, Wake Forest and an in-state showdown with UAlbany. This is the first time Syracuse has hosted seven home games since the 2017 season. Tickets can be purchased by visiting Cuse.com/Tickets or calling 888-DOME-TIX.
