Addison became a star in 2021, winning the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver (joining former Pitt winners Antonio Bryant and Larry Fitzgerald) and garnering first-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-ACC honors. He tied for the FBS lead with 17 receiving touchdowns, ranked sixth with 100 receptions and fourth with 1,593 receiving yards (15.9 per) in 14 games.
