Moses Named to Biletnikoff Award Watchlist
Aug 22 | Football
PISCATAWAY, NJ - Rutgers senior wide receiver Tres Moses (Delray Beach, FL) has been named to the watchlist for the 2005 Biletnikoff Award, presented annually to the nation's outstanding college football receiver. Moses is one of 31 players on the preseason list.
As a junior in 2004, Moses started all 11 games for the Scarlet Knights and became the first RU receiver to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark, finishing the season with 1,056 yards. He hauled in 81 passes, which established a BIG EAST record for single-season receptions and finished second in the league, and tenth nationally, with 96.0 receiving yards/game.
Over the final eight games of the 2004 season, Moses had 948 receiving yards and finished the year with a career-high 168 yards vs. UConn on Nov. 25 - his fifth 100-yard receiving effort of the season. He also finished the year with a 22-game catch streak intact and, with a reception in RU's 2005 season opener at Illinois, will move into 10th place on the BIG EAST list for consecutive games with at least one catch.
The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., (TQC Foundation), the creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, is an independent, charitable organization founded in 1994. Over 50 prominent journalists, commentators, announcers, and former players select the winner through a process audited by a CPA firm. The award is presented annually on the ESPN College Awards Show and the TQC Foundation hosts the party at Walt Disney World for the finalists and sponsoring organizations of the many awards presented on ESPN.
The Rutgers football team opens its 2005 season on September 3 when it travels to the University of Illinois. The game is set for noon and will be televised nationally on ESPN2. The Scarlet Knights begin their home schedule against Villanova on September 10, the first of six games at Rutgers Stadium.
