TROY, Ala. – Kaylon Geiger, the Sun Belt's top returning receiver, has been named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced Thursday. The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the nation's top receiver.
A rising senior for the Trojans, Geiger was named the Sun Belt Conference Newcomer of the Year in 2019 after he finished second in the league in receptions, yards (regular season) and yards per game. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Geiger's 77 receptions ranked as the third most in a season in Troy history while his 873 yards finished just shy of the top 10.
Geiger ranked fourth nationally with receptions on 77.8 percent of his targets (77-of-99). He also cracked the Troy single-game records with 12 catches for 145 yards at Coastal Carolina; the reception tally stands fifth all-time in school history. Geiger tied a single-season Troy record as he topped the 100-yard threshold five times over the course of the season; a number that ranked 13th nationally.
The semifinalists, finalists and award recipient are selected by the highly distinguished Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, a group of prominent college football journalists, commentators, announcers, Biletnikoff Award winners, and other former receivers.
