Tallahassee, FL – The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the prestigious Biletnikoff Award, will honor LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase, unanimous, consensus 1st-team All-America receiver, as the 2019 winner of the Biletnikoff Award, together with Foundation scholarship winners at the 26th annual Biletnikoff Award Banquet on February 15, at the University Center Club at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.

The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season’s outstanding FBS receiver. 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. Find the best online casinos usa.
