Junior WR leads the SEC in touchdowns and receiving yards during breakout campaign
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Football junior WR J'Mon Moore (Missouri City, Texas) is one of eight players added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, announced Tuesday by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation. The Biletnikoff Award is presented to college football's outstanding receiver annually. Moore certainly fits that description after the first four weeks of play as his 434 yards and six touchdowns lead the SEC, ranking in the top-10 nationally in both.
Enjoying a breakout junior campaign, Moore has tallied an SEC-best three 100-yard receiving games so far this season, highlighted by a league-best 196 yards and two scores against Georgia in Mizzou's SEC opener. The 196 yards in that game are the ninth-best in school history. One week removed from that performance, Moore tied the school record with four touchdown grabs in Mizzou's 79-0 win over Delaware State, also going over 100 yards in that game, needing just one half to put those numbers up.
The 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on December 8, 2016, on The Home Depot College Football Awards Show to be broadcast 7:00 - 9:00pm (EST) on ESPN. College Football Hall of Famer and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard will present the 2016 Biletnikoff Award winner on the show.
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., will announce the ten Biletnikoff Award semifinalists on November 14, 2016, following the vote by the members of the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee. Likewise, the three finalists will be declared, following another vote, on November 22, 2016. For complete details and updates of interest, together with weekly statistics and timely, important news of the Biletnikoff Award candidates, as well as the FanVote and FanForum discussion board, please consult the Foundation's highly informative website at www.biletnikoffaward.com.
Recently, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation opened the 2016 FanVote and FanForum. Every fan may vote once daily on the Biletnikoff Award FanVote page. The aggregate fan tally will be counted as one official vote to determine semi-finalists (ten receivers), finalists (three), and the winner. In the closest contest in years, the FanVote tally provided the one-vote margin of victory for 2013 winner Brandin Cooks of Oregon State. The Biletnikoff Award FanForum consists of fan-created discussion topics that allow sports fans to voice their opinions.
