On March 4, 2023, Hyatt will be presented the Biletnikoff Award Trophy by TQC Foundation Chairman Mark Ryan and banquet keynote speaker Drew Pearson, member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, at the black-tie Biletnikoff Award Banquet & Celebration at the Dunlap Champions Club at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Fla.

“The Biletnikoff Award recognizes college football’s outstanding receiver, not merely college football’s outstanding wide receiver,” according to the news release.
