Baylor's Corey Coleman was been recognized Thursday as the best wide receiver in college football with the Biletnikoff Award.

Coleman electrified throughout the year and finished the regular season with 74 receptions for 1,363 yards and 20 touchdowns. In seven games this year, he caught multiple touchdowns, and his touchdown total broke Baylor's single-season record for receivers.

TCU's Josh Doctson and Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell were also nominated for the award.

Coleman is the first Bears receiver to win the award.
