FDU will be getting an all-state receiver who is capable of having some memorable performances. Bilotta finished with 55 receptions for 853 yards and 12 touchdowns this past season for a Cedar Grove team that finished with a 7-1 record.
Bilotta had 54 catches for 986 yards and 15 scores in his junior year. The senior was a reliable threat for quarterback Dario Bryant, and he often sped past defenders and made some great catches.
Bilotta earned a lot of attention these past two seasons for his numbers. A basketball player for Cedar Grove as well, the senior star is a natural athlete with incredible speed.
As a junior, Bilotta had three 100-yard performances. A standout game came against Newark Collegiate in October of 2019, where he had nine receptions for 215 yards and four TDs.
In his senior year, Bilotta had two eye-opening games. Against Weequahic on Oct. 17, 2020, the receiver finished with seven catches for 173 yards and two TDs. He followed that up a 13-reception, 234-yard, three-touchdown game in a 42-38 victory over Scotch Plains-Fanwood.
