Eskridge Added to Biletnikoff Award Watch List

KALAMAZOO, Mich. –  Western Michigan football redshirt senior wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge has been added to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., announced Monday morning. Eskridge joins teammate Skyy Moore on the list.

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.

Eskridge leads the Mid-American Conference in yards (591), touchdowns (6) and average yards per game (147.8). The Bluffton, Ind., native ranks second in the conference at 28.1 yards per catch and seventh in the MAC with 5.3 catches per game.

The senior wide receiver has recorded 100-yard receiving games in each game this season highlighted by a four catch, 212-yard performance with three touchdowns at Central Michigan. In Western Michigan's 30-27 win over Northern Illinois last Saturday, Eskridge led the Broncos with seven receptions for 134 yards.
