Whittaker was one of three Utah receivers (Aaron Boone and J.J. McKelvey) to record more than 1,500 yards receiving this season. Whittaker hauled in 126 passes for 1,541 yards and 32 touchdowns.
“He is part of a great receiving trio in Utah that puts up record-breaking numbers,” Horton wrote.
Boone finished with 135 catches for 1,527 yards and 23 scores, while McKelvey recorded 121 catches for 1,529 yards and 38 touchdowns.
Whittaker was also a 2008 All-Arena First Team selection, while Germaine was a 2008 All-Arena Second Team selection.
