Germie Bernard Named Biletnikoff Semifinalist

The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to the college football season's outstanding receiver, and it's an award the Crimson Tide is familiar with. Alabama has had three Biletnikoff Award winners in its program history, with Amari Cooper winning the first in 2014, Jerry Jeudy winning it in 2018, and DeVonta Smith winning the most recent in 2020. Smith's award came with a Heisman Trophy and a national championship win as well.
