Arizona has secured two weekly honors from the Pac-12 for just the second time since 2017. Quarterback Jayden de Laura has been named the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week while defensive end Jalen Harris has earned the Pac-12 Defensive Lineman of the Week honor after the first week of the season. It is the first time each player has earned that specific award. De Laura was twice named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week while at Washington State in addition to earning last year's Pac-12 Freshman of the Year award. However, he has never been named the offensive player of the week. Harris had not earned any weekly award in his career until today.
Full disclosure, I voted for UA receiver Jacob Cowing to win the award as he was also nominated by the team. Linebacker Jerry Roberts was nominated for defensive player of the week. Punter Kyle Ostendorp was nominated for special teams player of the week while left tackle Jordan Morgan was nominated for Pac-12 Offensive Lineman of the Week. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was nominated for the freshman of the week award.
Oregon State's Jaydon Grant won the defensive award, Arizona State's Carter Brown won the special team honor, Oregon State's Brandon Kipper won the offensive line award while Cal running back Jaydn Ott was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week.
