STILLWATER – Oklahoma State wide receivers Brennan Presley and Rashod Owens are on the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation released Wednesday.

The Biletnikoff Award recognizes the season's outstanding FBS receiver, regardless of position, as its watch list includes 47 wide receivers, two tight ends and one running back. OSU is one of just six teams in the nation with multiple players on the list, including two other programs in the Big 12 Conference.

Each coming off career-best seasons in 2023, Presley and Owens are looking to join Justin Blackmon (2010, 2011) and James Washington (2017) as Cowboys to receive the Biletnikoff Award.

One of the biggest playmakers on the team, Presley has excelled out wide throughout his four years at Oklahoma State. He enters the 2024 season boasting some of the best career numbers in OSU history, ranking fourth in career catches with 225, seventh in receiving yards with 2,548 and 12th in receiving touchdowns with 16. In 2023, Presley recorded 101 catches for 991 yards and six touchdowns, which ultimately earned him second team All-Big 12 honors.

Owens enjoyed a breakout year in 2023 as an explosive playmaker, which was capped off by winning the Texas Bowl MVP against Texas A&M. In all, Owens recorded 63 catches for 895 yards and five touchdowns, all of which were second on the team and most in his career. His receptions and yards totals both ranked top 10 in the conference, while he also led the team with three 100-yard games.

The semifinalists, finalists and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of 600 prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners and other former receivers.
