TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – University of Delaware football WR Sean Wilson has been named to the 2026 Biletnikoff Award Watchlist, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc. announced Wednesday. Wilson is the first player in program history to make the Biletnikoff Watchlist.
The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the college football season's most outstanding FBS receiver. Any player, regardless of position (wide receiver, tight end, slot back, and running back) who catches a pass is eligible for the award.
This preseason, the junior wideout has been named to the Athlon Sports All-CUSA First Team, Phil Steele All-CUSA First Team, Pro Football Network All-CUSA Second Team, and a HERO Sports Group of Six Preseason Second Team All-American.
Wilson burst onto the scene as a starter in his first full season in 2025. He led the team with 68 catches for 877 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. His receptions and receiving yards are freshman records for the Hens. Across conference action, Wilson had a stretch of three-consecutive games with 100+ receiving yards, becoming the first Fightin' Blue Hen to do so since Aaron Love had four-straight 100-yard games in 2006. He set career bests with 162 yards and nine catches at Sam Houston.
