NEW YORK – For the third time in Oklahoma State, a Cowboy has won the Biletnokoff Award. James Washington was announced as the winner Thursday night on the award show.
Washington led the Cowboys to a 9-3 record, compiling impressive stats on the way. Leading the nation in receiving (1,423), Washington scored 12 times and brought in 69 catches. He surpassed 100 yards in eight games this year and only didn’t score in three.
He ends his college career with 221 catches for 4,346 yards and 38 touchdowns. Some predict Washington to be a Stamford product. You can view some highlights from him in the video provided by Oklahoma State below.
