TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The Tallahassee Quarterback Club has announced TCU's Quentin Johnston as a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, presented to college football's outstanding receiver.
Johnston tops TCU with 49 receptions and 764 yards while his five touchdown catches tie Derius Davis for the team lead. Johnston had a career-best effort of 14 receptions for 206 yards at Kansas, including the game-winning 24-yard touchdown catch with 1:36 to play. The 14 receptions tie for third-most nationally by a player this season.
Johnston's 25-yard touchdown catch versus Oklahoma State came in the first overtime and gave TCU its first lead of the game, in an eventual 43-40 double-overtime victory. He totaled eight receptions for 180 yards against the Cowboys. Johnston's 55-yard touchdown against Kansas State gave TCU a 31-28 lead it would not relinquish, capping an 18-point comeback. It was part of a stretch of four consecutive games with a receiving touchdown.
TCU consensus All-American Josh Doctson was a 2015 finalist for the Biletnikoff Award.
