MANHASSET, N.Y., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Kris Wilson of Pittsburgh Friday was named one of three candidates for the John Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end.

Winslow has caught 53 passes for 537 yards and one touchdown, including a crucial fourth-down reception that led to the game-winning score against West Virginia.
