EUGENE — The Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers saw seasons of promise come to a close on bittersweet notes, which likely led to both teams being shut out of the major year-end conference awards.

The Ducks football team was still well-represented on the Pac-12 all-conference teams released on Tuesday afternoon, with five players on the first team, two on the second team, and five receiving honorable mention.

Most of the Ducks will definitely see substantial playing time in the NFL, some sooner rather than later, so in the end bragging rights may draft positions vs. trying out life as undrafted free agents.

T.J. Bass, Brandon Dorlus, Verone McKinley III, Noah Sewell and Kayvon Thibodeaux were all selected to the first team by the conference’s coaches, giving Oregon the second-most first-team selections in the league. The five first-team honorees are the most for the program since the Ducks had five in 2015.

Alex Forsyth and Camden Lewis both landed on the second team; Oregon’s seven selections between the first and second teams are third-most in the conference. Popo Aumavae, Anthony Brown, Travis Dye, Ryan Walk and Mykael Wright all earned honorable mention.

The Pac-12’s All-Conference honors and yearly recognitions were voted by the league’s 12 coaches and it’s hard to hold any ill will against a Utah team and coach that earned their awards through emotionally difficult circumstances. The same could be said of de Laura’s award as Freshman Offensive Player of the year despite losing his head coach and offensive coordinator midseason.

First team honors were nearly even across the Pac-12 North (15) and Pac-12 South (14), as South Division Champion Utah led the way with six honorees, followed by North Division Champion Oregon with five.

In total, across both first and second team selections, Utah led the way with 10 honorees, followed by UCLA (nine), Oregon (seven), and Arizona State (six) with all 12 schools represented.

Offensive Player of the Year: Drake London, WR, USC

London, a pre-season All-American, finished tops in the conference in both receptions (88) and receiving yards (1,084) despite being limited to just eight games after suffering a broken ankle against Arizona.  He is the first Trojan to win this award since fellow WR Marqise Lee in 2012.  A 2021 Biletnikoff and Maxwell Award semifinalist, London was on pace for breaking Lee’s USC single-season records in both receptions (118) and receiving yards (1,721)

• 88 receptions are tied for ninth on USC’s season catches list.  London had at least 10 receptions in five of the eight games this season and is the first Trojan to twice haul in at least 15 catches in a game.   Joins Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree (2007) as the only Power 5 players to have 88 catches through 8 games.
• Had six games this season with 100 or more receiving yards including five in a row.  The streak was ended by his injury, as the junior had already tallied 81 yards in the second quarter when he suffered the season-ending injury.  First Trojan with five straight games with 100 or more yards receiving since Lee in 2012.  Only Pac-12 player to reach 1,000 receiving yards this season and did it in the first seven games.
• Ranks in the top 20 in Trojans history in receptions (160, 17th) and receiving yards (2,783, 11th).
• Named 2021 Midseason All-American first team by the Associated Press, ESPN.com, The Athletic, CBSSports.com, On3.com and the Sporting News.  London’s 135.5 receiving yards per game and 11.0 receptions per game would both rank tops in FBS.

Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year: Devin Lloyd, LB, Utah

Llloyd, a two-time Butkus Award Finalist, leads the Utes with a career-high 106 tackles during the regular season including 22.0 tackles for loss, which was second most in the country.  The junior becomes the first Utah player to win this award and just the third Ute to win a Pac-12 annual award after Zack Moss won 2019 Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year and Ty Jordan won 2020 Pac-12 Freshman Offensive Player of the Year.

• Named MVP of the 2021 Pac-12 Championship Game, leading the Utes to their first ever Pac-12 championship.  Had seven tackles and an interception he returned 34 yards for a touchdown to give the Utes a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.  It was Lloyd’s second Pick 6 of the season and third of his career.
• Named Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, presented by Nextiva, three times this season, the most of any player this season and first to win it three times in a season since Arizona’s Scooby Wright in 2014.
• Five games with multiple tackles for loss this season had at least 0.5 TFL in 11 of 13 games this season.
• Led Pac-12 linebackers with 8.0 sacks in the regular season after having 8.5 sacks in his first three seasons combined.  Career-high 3.0 sacks in win over Arizona State.
• Second straight season named first team All-Pac-12, a semifinalist for the 2021 Bednarik Award and a finalist for the 2021 Lott IMPACT trophy

Offensive Freshman Player of the Year, presented by Nextiva: Jayden de Laura, QB, Washington State

de Laura becomes the first Cougar to win this award after finishing the regular season atop the conference in passing yards (2,757) and pass TD (23).

• Led the Cougars to their first Apple Cup win since 2012, completing an Apple Cup record 84.3% (27-32) of his passes for the fourth-best completion percentage in WSU single-game history.  Had 245 yards passing and another 31 on the ground as de Laura was named Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Week.
• Multiple touchdown passes in eight games this season including a career-high four scores against Arizona.
• Named Rose Bowl Game Pac-12 Player of the Week in win over Oregon State when he passed for career-high 399 yards with 3 passing touchdowns.
