Skyler Bell Named Semifinalist for Biletnikoff Award

STORRS, CT – UConn huge receiver Skyler Bell (Bronx, NY) was named one in all 13 semifinalist for the 2025 Biletnikoff Award introduced by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc. on Monday.

The Biletnikoff Award yearly acknowledges the faculty soccer season’s excellent FBS receiver. Any participant, no matter place (huge receiver, tight finish, slot or inside receiver, wing again, or operating again) who catches a move is eligible for the award. As such, the Biletnikoff Award acknowledges faculty soccer’s excellent receiver, not merely faculty soccer’s excellent huge receiver. Tight finish Kyle Pitts was a finalist in 2020 and different tight ends had been semifinalists in different years. Moreover, the Biletnikoff Award is a single season, not profession, award.

Bell is joined by Louisville’s Chris Bell (WR), Germie Bernard of Alabama (WR), Chris Brazzell II (WR) of Tennessee, Omar Cooper Jr. (WR) from Indiana, Mario Carver (WR) of Texas A&M, Makai Lemon (WR) of USC, Eric McAlister (WR) from TCU, Duce Robinson (WR) of Florida State, Elijah Sarratt (WR) from Indiana, Danny Scudero (WR) of San Jose State, and Jeremiah Smith (WR) and Carnell Tate (WR) of Ohio State.

The UConn r-sernior wideout has 93 catches in 11 video games this season for 1,153 yards and 13 touchdowns. He ranks first within the nation in catches, catches per sport (8.45), and receiving TDs, second in receiving yards and third in receiving yards per sport (104.8). His 13 touchdowns is ranked tenth for complete TDs.

He has six video games this season with 100+ yards, 4 video games with double digit catches and 4 video games with a number of landing catches. He posted a career-high 158 yards receiving within the sport at Rice and tied his personal faculty report with three landing grabs towards UAB. 

His 13 touchdowns this season is a brand new UConn faculty report for TDs in a season. He as a result of the eleventh participant at school historical past to hit 1,000 yards receiving in a season and is 201 yards away from setting a brand new UConn faculty report. His 93 catches are seven away from tying the varsity mark and making him simply the second Husky all-time to report 100 receptions in a season.
