STILLWATER – Oklahoma State All-America receiver Justin Blackmon has been named the recipient of the 2010 Paul Warfield Award, given annually by the Touchdown Club of Columbus to the best receiver in college football.
The sophomore from Ardmore, Okla., hauled in 102 passes for 1,665 yards and 18 touchdowns in the 2010 regular season and also added a pair of scores with a 69-yard run and a blocked punt return.
Blackmon ends the regular season at the top of the national charts in several statistical categories, including receiving yards per game (first with 151.36), receptions per game (first with 9.27), points per game (fourth with 10.91) and all-purpose yards per game (ninth with 159).
Blackmon joins an elite list of past winners of the award, including names like Desmond Howard, Keyshawn Johnson, Randy Moss, Santana Moss, Larry Fitzgerald and several other notable athletes. Blackmon is the first Cowboy to receive the honor.
The award, named for Ohio State football legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Paul Warfield, will be presented during the 56th Touchdown Club of Columbus Awards Banquet, scheduled for Feb. 5, 2011, at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.
