WACO, Texas — The 2022 Biletnikoff Award winner snagged his eighth All-America accolade Wednesday morning as the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) tabbed Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt to the 2022 AFCA FBS Coaches’ All-America First Team.

Hyatt’s remarkable junior campaign has been well recognized by numerous outlets and organizations this postseason. The Irmo, South Carolina, product had previously garnered first team All-America acclaim from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, FWAA, Associated Press, Sporting News, ESPN, The Athletic and CBSSports.com/247Sports.

Tennessee’s first Biletnikoff winner posted a record-breaking season for the Big Orange in 2022, claiming the SEC receiving triple crown as he led the nation’s best conference in receptions (67), receiving yards (1,267) and receiving touchdowns (15). His 15 scoring grabs this fall shattered the single-season school record and tied with Houston’s Nathaniel Dell for the FBS lead, while his 1,267 yards ranked fourth nationally and are 31 shy of tying Robert Meachem’s school record set in 2006.

Widely regarded as the most explosive playmaker in college football this season, Hyatt led the country in plays of 30-plus (15), 40-plus (11), 50-plus (7) and 60-plus (5) yards from scrimmage. He logged five games with more than 100 yards receiving and five games with multiple touchdown scores, highlighted by a historic five-touchdown, 207-yard performance against then-No. 3 Alabama to lead the Vols to a monumental, 52-49 victory on The Third Saturday In October. His five receiving touchdowns tied an SEC single-game record and his 207 yards were sixth-most in UT single-game annals.
