Oklahoma City -

Ten semifinalists for the 2011 Biletnikoff Award have been announced and two are from the state of Oklahoma.

Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon, who won the award last year, and Oklahoma's Ryan Broyles, are among the ten semifinalists, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced Monday.

The others are Cal's Keenan Allen, Houston's Patrick Edwards, Notre Dame's Michael Floyd, Illinois' A.J. Jenkins, Clemson's Sammy Watkins, Western Michigan's Jordan White, USC's Robert Woods and Baylor's Kendall Wright.

Blackmon is third in the nation in receptions (93) and receptions per game (9.3), fifth in receiving yards (1,142), seventh in receiving yards per game (114.2) and is tied for tops in receiving touchdowns (14).

Broyles, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in OU's victory over Texas A&M two weekends ago, remains second in receiving yards per game (128.56), fourth in receptions per game (9.22), fourth in total receiving yards (1,157) and tied for fifth in touchdowns with ten.

The Biletnikoff Award is given every year to the nation's top collegiate receiver. The finalists will be announced later this month and the winner will be announced during The Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN on December 8th.
