Template:Short description Template:Use American English Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox sports award The Fred Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the most outstanding receiver in American college football by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc. (TQCF), an independent not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The award was created in 1994.[1] The award is named for Fred Biletnikoff, who played college football at Florida State and professionally with the Oakland Raiders and Montreal Alouettes.[2] Any NCAA Division I FBS player who catches the football through a forward pass is eligible to be selected as the award winner, though in practice, and as it has been awarded to a player at that position every year, it is considered a de facto honor for the sport's most outstanding wide receiver. The 2025 recipient of the award was University of Southern California’s Makai Lemon.

A national selection committee consisting of over 600 journalists, commentators, broadcasters, and former players selects the award winner. No member of the board of trustees of the foundation has a vote. The foundation's charitable mission is provision of scholarships to North Florida high school seniors who have overcome significant challenges to achieve at the highest levels, with 320 scholarships having been awarded through 2024 with total benefits of well over 5 million dollars.

In December 2022, founding trustee and chairman Walter Manley II and past chairman Mark Ryan announced a goal of $10 million in aggregate to be awarded by 2030. [3] [4]
