Dres Anderson named to Biletnikoff Award Watch List

Dres Anderson has been placed on another watch list for this upcoming season, this time the Biletnikoff Award watch list. The Biletnikoff award is given to the nation's best wide receiver. Anderson has been previously named to the Maxwell watch list, which is awarded to the nation's best football player. Anderson is one of seven Pac-12 receivers named to the Biletnikoff list.

Dres is coming off a 1,000-yard 2013 season, the first since David Reed in 2009, and with about 1,400 more yards he could break the record for career receiving yards at Utah. Dres is part of what may be a formidable receiving crew in 2014 with Kenneth Scott, Kaelin Clay, Dominique Hatfield, Westlee Tonga, and some other up and comers.

The Utes that have been named to preseason watch lists thus far are: Dres Anderson (Maxwell, Biletnikoff), Andy Phillips (Groza), and Tom Hackett (Guy).
