Florida State’s Duce Robinson has been added to the Biletnikoff Award watch list, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced on Wednesday.

Robinson has 34 receptions for 689 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. He is tied for 18th in the FBS in receiving yards. Against Wake Forest, Robinson caught five passes for 148 yards and a touchdown and was named the ACC’s receiver of the week.

He became the first Nole with three 140-yard receiving games in a season since Snoop Minnis in 2000.

The 6-foot-6 junior averages 20.26 yards per catch, which ranks second in the ACC and fifth in the nation.

“Just another guy that's really coming into all that he can be,” FSU coach Mike Norvell said. “He's a dominant player. ... Another guy that shows up, good day, bad day, whatever it is, you're going to get all of him. He pours into this team, and you can -- just like we were talking about with Sam, you see the confidence of being able to be a go-to guy regardless of the situation that we find ourselves in.”

Robinson joins a growing list of candidates for the Biletnikoff Award, which is named after FSU star Fred Biletnikoff (1962-64). Semifinalists will be announced on Nov. 17.

FSU has not had a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award since Snoop Minnis in 2000. Peter Warrick was also a finalist in 1999 and 1998.

The Seminoles (4-4, 1-4 ACC) play at Clemson (3-5, 2-4 ACC) on Saturday (7 p.m. on ACC Network).
