Jeudy leads the top-ranked Crimson Tide with 59 catches for 1,103 yards and 12 touchdowns. The true sophomore has totaled 73 catches for 1,367 yards and 14 touchdowns in his college career.
He becomes the second Alabama player to win the award, which began in 1994, joining Amari Cooper in 2014. Cooper played at Miami Northwestern Senior High School before going to Alabama.
The award is presented annually by the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation. It is named for College and Pro Football Hall of Fame receiver Fred Biletnikoff, who was the first All-American player at Florida State and spent 14 seasons with the NFL's Oakland Raiders.
Alabama (13-0) will face No. 4 Oklahoma (12-1) in the College Football Playoff semifinal at the Orange Bowl later this month.
