2017 Pacific Takes Pac-12 All-Freshman Team: K.J. Costello, J.J. Taylor and Chase Lucas headline

First Team

Offense

QB K.J. Costello Stanford - Maybe the most-important cog in Stanford’s North Division title after Bryce Love and their most-important chess piece for the future. He started to live up to potential in 2017.

RB J.J. Taylor Arizona - Got to have that big freshman year he didn’t have in 2016 because of injury. A small burner perfect for RichRod’s system.

RB Salvon Ahmed Washington - Replaced John Ross as maybe the fastest guy in the Pac-12. Already Washington’s big play option.

WR Tyler Vaughns USC - He looks like he could be a five-star WR recruit that finally pays dividends for USC for the first time in a while.

WR Renard Bell Washington State - A small receiver who put up big numbers as a freshman.

TE Kaden Smith Stanford - Possibly the conference’s best tight end as just a redshirt freshman.

OL Walker Little Stanford - The next Stanford All-American and first round NFL Draft pick tackle almost guaranteed.

OL Luke Wattenberg Washington - Stepped in for All-American Trey Adams and did a very good job most of the year.

OL Devery Hamilton Stanford - Filled in on Stanford’s offensive line and used his length and athleticism to help improve their run game.

OL Andrew Voorhees USC - The big time recruit came in and made an impact on a talented offensive line right away as it coped with injuries.

OL Jake Curhan Cal - The young lineman played a role in Cal’s offense, and team as a whole making major strides in 2017.

Defense

DL Brandon Pili USC - Was the least-hyped of USC’s 2017 stellar defensive line class, but ended up being the best and one of the conference’s best freshman defensive linemen.

DL Jaelan Phillips UCLA - Looked every bit the future star he is supposed to be as a true freshman.

DL Kylan Wilborn Arizona - Exploded as a freshman with nine tackles for-loss and seven sacks - four came in one game against UCLA.

DL Jordon Scott Oregon - The massive defensive tackle was stout in 2017 and helped improve Oregon’s formerly-woeful run defense.

LB Tony Fields Arizona - Led the team in tackles and helped shore up Arizona’s defense. Was also a playmaker with 6.5 tfls, four sacks and an int.

LB Colin Schooler Arizona - The Wildcats’ second-leading tackler. Was also huge in the backfield with 13.5 tfls and four sacks.

LB Jahad Woods Washington State - A young star on the Cougar defense. He racked up 62 tackles and 11 for-loss this season.

DB Chase Lucas Arizona State - Made second team All-Pac-12 as a redshirt freshman.

DB Lorenzo Burns Arizona - Another freshman defensive stud for the Wildcats - 75 tackles and five ints.

DB David Morris Oregon State - Stepped up at the back of the Beaver defense with 75 tackles, four for loss and an int.

DB Thomas Graham Oregon - The blue chip recruit made an impact right away with 50 plus tackles and 3 ints.

Special Teams

K Brandon Ruiz Arizona State - Got his career off with a fantastic start. 72% FG percentage.

P Adam Stack Oregon - The only freshman punter in the conference I think.

R Velus Jones USC - Had a great kick return percentage.
