With two more regular season games on the line, Brazzell II will have a few more opportunities to climbs the charts and potentially break 1,000-yards on the season.

If Chris Brazzell II were to win this award, it would give Heupel his second wide receiver to walk away with the hardware.

Tennessee fans will forever remember the 2022 season, and the special season that it was.

Jalin Hyatt was a part of that roster, and Hyatt was presented the Biletnikoff Award before heading to the NFL.

Hyatt finished the 2022 season with 67-receptions, 1,267-Yds, and a school record 15-touchdowns.

The big highlight of the year was the video game stat line that was recorded during the "Third Saturday in October," as the Vols ended with drought against Alabama.

Against the Crimson Tide, Hyatt hauled in 6-receptions, 207-yards, and 5-touchdowns.

You read that right, 5 of the six catches were for points.

Will Brazzell be the next Tennessee winner of the Biletnikoff Award? Time will soon reveal the answer.
