SportsPac12 Players of the Week (Week 4)

The top offensive, defensive, and freshman players as chosen by our senior football writers
Each week our three senior football writers—Dane Miller, Jack Follman, and Nick Bartlett—select an Offensive, Defensive, and Freshman Player of the Week throughout the 2020 football season.


They submit their selections before the official Pac-12 Players of the Week are released to keep their choices independent, based on the nominations of student broadcasters and writers through our partnership with Dash Sports TV.

You’ll find their nominations tabulated, along with both the SportsPac12 and Pac-12 selections, in tables at the bottom of the page.

His first touchdown went for 82 yards, a career-long. His 226 yards was the most ever by an Oregon State or Oregon running back in 124 rivalry games between the teams.
