Quinn Named To Biletnikoff Award Watch List

DENTON (9/26/06) Mean Green senior wide receiver Johnny Quinn can add another honor to his list of career accomplishments as he has been named to the Biletnikoff Award watch list for the second consecutive season.

Quinn is arguably the most prolific receiver in North Texas history and either owns or is on the verge of breaking every school receiving record. He has recorded at least one reception in every game (40) that he has ever suited up for the Mean Green, a mark that currently stands as the second-longest streak in the nation.

He has led North Texas in receptions each of the last three years and is setting the pace in that category again in 2006.Through four games Quinn has 17 receptions for 201 yards and a touchdown.

Despite playing the first two games of the season with a broken hand he still was able to pull in nine catches for 132 yards in the victory over SMU in week two.

The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club to the nation’s top wide receiver. Quinn is currently on the watch list which is a list of the top-50 receivers in the country and will be narrowed down to a list of three finalists at the end of the season.

Recent winners include Braylon Edwards, Larry Fitzgerald and Charles Rogers.
