Pac-12 Conference football individual awards


Coaches of the Pac-12 Conference bestow the following awards at the end of each football season. The conference was founded in its current form as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959, but traces its roots to the Pacific Coast Conference, founded in 1915. The conference name changed to Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8) in 1968 and Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) in 1978. The conference's 2011 expansion to 12 members saw the conference formally renamed as the "Pac-12 Conference" (not "Pacific").

The following are the conference's various Player of the Year award recipients. In 2004 the Defensive Player of the Year award was renamed the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year.

The Glenn "Pop" Warner Memorial Trophy was awarded annually by the Palo Club to the most valuable senior player on the West Coast. It was awarded from 1950 to 2004. Notably, all recipients played for Pac-10 institutions. The award is distinguished from the unaffiliated W. J. Voit Memorial Trophy, presented annually from 1951 to 1978 to the top player on the Pacific Coast regardless of class-year.

The Morris Trophy is awarded annually to the best offensive and defensive linemen in the conference, as selected by opposing players.

The following coach were selected as coach of the year.
