COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou senior WR Emanuel Hall (Franklin, Tenn.) was named to the Biletnikoff Award Preseason Watch List, announced Thursday (July 19) by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club. The award goes to the top wide receiver in college football at the end of the season. Hall is one of 50 players nationally to earn a spot on the list.
Hall is a dynamic speedster in the passing game who is a deep-ball threat with the ability to take the top off of opposing defenses on every play. He emerged as one of the nation's elite deep ball threats after taking over a starting spot for the season's final nine games. Hall finished the season with 33 receptions for 817 yards and eight touchdowns, with six of them coming from 50 yards out or longer. His eight scores went for an average length of 49.5 yards, including scores of 20, 31, 50, 55, 56, 58, 63 and 63 yards, and his per-catch average on the year of 24.8 ranked as the best in the SEC and was second nationally among all receivers. He battled a hamstring injury early in the season that limited him to just five total receptions in MU's first four games (including no scores), but when he got healthy, he quickly made an impact, as he had consecutive highly-productive road games at Kentucky (four catches, 129 yards, one touchdown) and at Georgia (four catches, 141 yards, two touchdowns) to give the Mizzou offense a big spark. In all, Hall had five games with 100 yards receiving or more, including 113 (five receptions) against Florida, 111 yards and two scores (on just two catches) at Arkansas and 102 yards and two scores (five catches) versus Tennessee.
