Alabama sophomore wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been named one of 11 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award, which is annually given to the most outstanding receiver in college football.

Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back), who catches a pass is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football's outstanding receiver, not merely college football's outstanding wide receiver.

On the season, Jeudy leads the Crimson Tide in every statistical receiving category. The former 5-star recruit has caught 45 passes for 925 yards and 10 touchdowns while averaging 20.56 yards per reception, which is fifth-best nationally, and is tied for sixth in the nation with 10 touchdown catches this season. The sophomore leads the country in yards after catch average at 9.2 and is third nationally in yards per route run at 3.5, according to Pro Football Focus.

The Deerfield Beach, Fla., native’s 925 receiving yards this season are also good for ninth-best in school history. On Saturday, he passed Julio Jones’ 2008 season when he posted 924 yards.

What do his teammates see out of Jeudy in practice?

“The same thing you see in the game, probably just about 12 more times a day,” running back Josh Jacobs said earlier this season. “Dude’s crazy. You see him run, he looks exactly like Calvin (Ridley). His route-running looks identical, except I’d say he’s probably a little more shifty dude. I guess his film kind of speaks for itself. He’s an amazing player.”

Amari Cooper is Alabama’s lone winner of the Biletnikoff Award, bringing home the honor in 2014.

The 2018 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on Dec. 6, on The Home Depot College Football Awards between 6-8 p.m. CT on ESPN. College and Pro Football Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff, for which the award is named, will announce the 2018 recipient.
