It isn't just Washington State fans who are noticing Gabe Marks' stellar play through five games. 

The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced Wednesday morning that Mark has been added a watch list for potential winners of the Biletnikoff Award, which is given to the most outstanding receiver in college football after the season. Teammate River Cracraft is also on the watch list, making WSU the only Pac-12 school with two players being considered.

Statistically, Marks is one of the Pac-12's receiving leaders. He has the most catches of any player in the Pac-12 (43), the second-most receiving yards (525) and the third-most receiving touchdowns (five). He has come up big for the Cougars in critical situations, playing key roles in their road wins over Rutgers (14 catches/146 yards/one touchdown) and Oregon (8/11/two).

There is a fan voting component to the selection process. Fans can vote once per day at the Biletnikoff Award website.
