SAN FRANCISCO – The Pac-12 announced its 2021 football season’s fourth weekly performance awards this week led by Oregon State’s B.J. Baylor following his dominant performance Saturday over the Trojans and Oregon’s Bennett Williams after his defensive breakout game. Oregon State offensive lineman Nathan Eldridge has been selected as the conference’s Offensive Lineman of the Week.

The honors continued to roll in for Bennett Williams as the Oregon safety was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in the Ducks’ 41-19 win over Arizona, as he made two interceptions and returned one 68 yards for a touchdown vs. the Wildcats. Williams was honored as the Walter Camp National FBS Defensive Player of the Week on Sunday. He was also selected to Pro Football Focus’ national team of the week on Monday.

Oregon has now won the conference’s defensive player of the week award in consecutive weeks, with Verone McKinley III claiming the honor following the Ducks’ win over Stony Brook. Williams and McKinley III have led the charge for an Oregon defense that leads the nation with 13 total takeaways, picking off three passes each over the last two games.

At least one Duck has won a Pac-12 weekly award after each of the first four games to open the season, and Oregon has had seven total conference honorees on the season.

Up I-5 in Corvallis, Oregon State is “not done yet” according to head coach Jonathan Smith while running back B.J. Baylor earned his first career Pac-12 honor as Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week and Nathan Eldridge was been selected as the conference’s Offensive Lineman of the Week for the second time of his collegiate career.

Baylor, a Wharton, Texas native, ran for 158 yards in the Beavers’ 45-27 victory over USC Saturday night. He ran for eight first downs, and now leads all Pac-12 running backs with 22 this season. On the year, he leads the Pac-12 averaging 105 rushing yards per game, totaling 422 over 61 carries. He’s also tied for the Pac-12 lead with seven rushing touchdowns.

Eldridge helped pave the way for Baylor’s ground attack, which paced OSU’s 322 total yards on the ground. QB Chance Nolan also passed for 213 yards and four scores. Eldridge, an Anthem, Ariz., native was also named the Pac-12’s Offensive Lineman of the Week on Nov. 30, 2020. Saturday’s game marked Eldridge’s 37^th career collegiate start.
