Boise State's Avery Williams received another accolade for his spectacular 2020 season.
Williams was tabbed as the winner of the Jet Award. The honor is named for Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers, the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner and is presented annually to the nation's top return specialist.
The national award adds to a season that has seen Williams be named a consensus All-American, and All-Mountain West performer.
Williams earned his place on the Consensus All-America team as a kick returner/all-purpose player. He was named first-team All-American on four of the five teams recognized for consensus status.
The Pasadena, Calif., native was the kick returner on the Football Writers Association of America and the Walter Camp Football Foundation teams. He was the top return specialist by The Sporting News and the all-purpose player on the American Football Coaches Association's team. He also picked up a third-team honor from the Associated Press as an all-purpose player.
Other All-America teams Williams was named to include Phil Steele and USA Today (first team, kick returner), The Athletic (second team, all-purpose) and CBS Sports (second team, punt returner and second team, kick returner). His six first-team honors and 10 overall are both Boise State records.
In addition to his All-America awards, Williams was the Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Year and an all-conference first-team honoree at cornerback, punt returner and kick returner.
Williams led the nation this season with four special teams touchdowns, scoring on a pair of kickoff returns and two punt returns. He is the only player who ranked in the top 20 nationally in both punt returns (third, 15.3 average) and kickoff returns (12th, 28.1).
