Preseason selections are speculative at best, especially when it comes to true freshmen, who have yet to play a down of college football. Of course, absolute objectivity is never possible, as each writer brings a unique perspective to the selection process.
Some overlooked players will find motivation in not finding their names listed below, and we look forward to rectifying whatever oversights, omissions, or misjudgments we may have made in preseason with our postseason selections.
If you would like to see how our senior football writers—Dane Miller, Jack Follman, Nick Bartlett, Stephen Vilardo, and Chris Courtney—voted, you’ll find their individual selections for each position tabulated here.
Feel free to share your own selections in contrast to our 2021 Preseason All-SportsPac12 Football Teams, or predict how they might compare to those chosen by Pac-12 media voters, via Twitter at @SportsPac12.
