Ohio State WR Chris Olave named to the preseason Biletnikoff Award watchlist

We may be still waiting to see if we’ll even be able to see Ohio State football this fall, or what kind of college football season we’ll have, but that hasn’t stopped the annual parade of award watchlists from coming out.

The latest has to do with the Biletnikoff Award, given to the receiver judged to be the best in college football on an annual basis. It doesn’t have to be a wide receiver but can include any position player that catches passes. The award has been handed out on a yearly basis by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation since 1994. And on that list of 55 names is Buckeye rising junior receiver Chris Olave.

Olave broke out in the Michigan game two years ago but separated himself even further this past fall, leading all OSU receivers in yards receiving and touchdowns. He’s a smooth route runner that can run away from opposing defensive backs and he’s expected to take an even further step in 2020.

Ohio State has just one winner of the Biletnikoff, Terry Glenn back in 1995.
