Junior added to watch list for season's outstanding college receiver.
MEMPHIS – Junior wide receiver Anthony Miller was added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List on Tuesday. The Biletnikoff Award recognizes the season's outstanding college receiver at any position and is awarded by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation.
Miller, who was named to the American Athletic Conference honor roll Monday following a 250-yard receiving performance against Tulsa on Saturday, currently ranks fourth in the American in with 6.6 receptions per game and third with 102.8 receiving yards per game. Miller, who also fields punts for the Tigers special teams, currently ranks fifth with 121.8 all-purpose yards a night.
The 250-yard game gave Miller his fourth 100-plus yard receiving game this season and the seventh of his career. He is the first Memphis player in program history to record a 200-plus yard receiving game.
Miller currently leads Memphis with 53 catches for 822 yards. Having played in just 20 career games to date, Miller is already 12th on the Tigers' all-time receiving list with 1,516 career yards. He needs just 11 yards to move to 11th in the Memphis record book and needs just 70 yards to catch former Tiger and NFL Pro-Bowler Isaac Bruce.
The Biletnikoff Award semifinalists will be announced on Monday, Nov. 14th, with the three finalists announced on Nov. 22nd. The winner of the award will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards Show, on Thursday, Dec. 8th.
Miller and his Memphis teammates will face an aggressive SMU defense on Saturday in Dallas. The Mustangs are currently tied for fourth in the FBS statistics with 14 interceptions in their first eight games.
The conference clash will be played at 3 p.m. (CT) and will air on ESPNews.
