Wolfe one of 37 on Biletnikoff Watch List

UNLV senior wide receiver Ryan Wolfe, who enters this season as the Rebels' career leader in receptions and receiving yards, on Tuesday was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List.

The Biletnikoff Award is given annually to the nation's top wide receiver.

As a junior for the 5-7 Rebels, Wolfe was ninth in the nation, averaging 7.3 receptions per game, and his 86.7 yards per game ranked 21st in the land. His 88 catches tired a school single-season record.
