Here are all of the Pac-12 Football Offensive Freshmen of the Year winners as selected by a vote of the coaches from its inception in 2009 through 2023.
Oregon’s LaMichael James won the first award and Arizona’s Noah Fifita earned the last award in the final year of the Conference.
From 1999 to 2008, the Conference did not distinguish between Offensive Freshmen and Defensive Freshmen of the Year, simply choosing one overall Freshman of the Year.
Below you’ll also find a table listing award counts by program with the most recent year won.
