Here are all of the Pac-12 Football Offensive Player of the Year Award winners as selected by a vote of the coaches from its inception in 1983 through 2023.

Pac-12Washington’s Steve Pelluer captured the first award and Oregon’s Bo Nix earned the last award in the final year of the Conference.

From 1975 to 1982, the Conference did not distinguish between Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, simply choosing one overall Player of the Year.
