Scott LOGAN, Utah – Utah State senior wide receiver Deven Thompkins is one of 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., announced Monday. Thompkins is the first Aggie named a semifinalist since Kevin Curtis in 2001. 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. Three finalists for the award will be named on Monday, Nov. 23, and the winner will be announced on Dec. 9, as part of The Home Depot College Football Awards. Thompkins leads the nation in receiving (144.1 ypg) and all-purpose yards (169.9 pg), and is eighth in the nation in receptions (7.7 pg) and 16th in receiving touchdowns with eight. He also leads the nation with eight 100-yard receiving games this year, including six straight, and is the only player in the nation with five games of 170-plus
