TALLAHASSEE, Fla.-Thursday, BYU football junior receiver Puka Nacua was named to the Biletnikoff Watch List.

This award annually honors the top FCS “pass catcher.” This can be a receiver, tight end or a tailback. It is named in honor of the former Florida State consensus All-American (1964) who starred for the Seminoles from 1962-1964.

Biletnikoff later went on to a Pro Football Hall of Fame career with the Oakland Raiders (1965-1978) and he also played for the Montreal Alouettes (1980) of the Canadian Football League.

Nacua, a transfer from Washington, posted 43 receptions for 805 yards and 6 scores for the Cougars last season.

Nacua is the only Utah collegian to be on the watch list for this award.
