Each week our senior football writers—Dane Miller, Nick Bartlett, Stephen Vilardo, Mark Shmor, and Steve Ritchie—select an Offensive, Defensive, and Freshman Player of the Week throughout the 2021 football season.
They submit their selections before the official Pac-12 Players of the Week are released to keep their choices independent. Eight different players received votes in Week 12.
You’ll find a tabulation of their choices and a cumulative listing of all weekly SportsPac12 Players of the Week at the bottom of the page.
— Offensive Player of the Week —
Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Senior Quarterback, UCLA
DTR, a unanimous selection, completed 16 of 22 passes for a season-high 349 yards and four touchdowns with 46 yards and another two touchdowns on the ground in UCLA’s 62-33 win over USC.
The senior quarterback’s performance earned him a Conference-leading 153.5 QBR rating. His 2,245 passing yards on the season ranks fourth in the Pac-12.
— Defensive Player of the Week —
Jahad Woods, Senior Linebacker, Washington State
Jahad Woods recorded 12 total tackles, eight of them solo, including one and a half tackles for loss, with a forced fumble, and interception, and a pass broken up in Washington State’s 44-18 win over Arizona.
It was the senior linebacker’s fifth game this season with double-digit tackles, and his 96 total tackles on the year ranks second in the Pac-12.
