Each week our senior football writers—Dane Miller, Nick Bartlett, Stephen Vilardo, Mark Shmor, and Mik Dietlin—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. Nine different players received votes in Week Four.
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.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson, Junior Quarterback, UCLA
Junior quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson provided some late heroics in UCLA’s 35-24 win over Stanford, completing 18 of 29 pass attempts for 251 yards and two touchdowns, and ran for two more scores, despite injuring his throwing shoulder.
The veteran Bruin QB ranks second among all Pac-12 passers through four weeks with a rating of 175, having thrown for 919 yards and nine touchdowns, while rushing for two more.
— Defensive Player of the Week —
Karene Reid, Freshman Linebacker, Utah
His performance in Week Four earned him a 83.3 grade from PFF, third best in the Pac-12.
