Arizona punter Riggleman earns second-team All-Pac-12 honors
Senior Drew Riggleman was a second-team selection on the All-Pac-12 football team announced Tuesday. He was the only Wildcat on the first and second teams, which were selected in voting among conference coaches.
Three Wildcats earned honorable mention: Senior defensive back Will Parks, senior defensive lineman Reggie Gilbert and senior place-kicker Casey Skowron.
The conference's offensive and defensive players of the year and coach of the year were to be announced later in the day.
North Division champion Stanford led the way with seven first-team selections, followed by USC and Oregon with five apiece. Utah had four, Washington State three, California and Washington two apiece and UCLA one. Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Oregon State had no first-teamers.
Washington State sophomore Luke Falk and California junior Jared Goff were co-first-team choices at quarterback, ahead of Stanford senior Kevin Hogan. The first-team running backs were a pair of sophomores: Oregon's Royce Freeman and Stanford's Christian McCaffrey.
Utah's Tom Hackett was the all-conference punter for a third consecutive year. The only other repeat selection was USC junior linebacker Su'a Cravens.
