Arizona Football wide receiver Isaiah Mizell has been added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced on Monday. Mizell, a sophomore, currently leads the Wildcats with 753 receiving yards and ranks sixth in the Big 12 Conference.
The Orlando native is averaging 83.7 yards per game and has recorded seven touchdown passes. Mizell has established himself as a featured part of the Arizona offense following injuries at the wide receiver position. Over the last four games, he has tallied 577 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 27 receptions. This stretch included three consecutive 100-yard games and four straight outings with a touchdown catch, marks previously set at Arizona by first round NFL Draft selection Tetairoa McMillan.
Mizell has demonstrated game-breaking speed, resulting in an average of 18.8 yards per catch, which ranks fourth in the Big 12. His season includes touchdown catches of 71, 72, and 94 yards.
The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to recognize the outstanding FBS receiver. Eligibility extends to any player regardless of position, including wide receivers, tight ends, slot backs, and running backs, provided they catch a pass. Semifinalists, finalists, and the recipient are selected by the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee, which consists of 625 journalists, commentators, announcers, award winners, and former receivers.
The No. 22 Wildcats are scheduled to play the No. 2 Utah Utes on Saturday, Nov. 14, at Casino Del Sol Stadium in Tucson at 5:30 p.m. MST. FOX Big Noon Kickoff will broadcast live from the University of Arizona mall prior to the game on Saturday morning.
