2009 Preseason All-Pac 10 Offense
Preseason Offensive Player of the Year
RB Jahvid Best, Cal

One of the most explosive athletes in America and a Heisman contender, Best burst out of the shadows of Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett in 2008. In an All-Pac-10 campaign, he rushed for a league-high 1,580 yards, caught 27 passes, and finished No. 2 nationally in all-purpose yards. A true gamebreaker in the Reggie Bush mold, the 5-10, 195-pounder is one of those rare offensive stars, who can change a game with one play and must be accounted for at all times.

2009 Preseason

All-Pac 10 Defense
Preseason Defensive Player of the Year
FS Taylor Mays, USC

The tremendous USC secondary starts with 6-3, 235-pound senior FS Taylor Mays, a fourth-year starter and two-time All-American. His physical resume reads like a fable, blending the size and pop of a linebacker with the speed and agility of a cornerback. He’s able to do things on the field that no free safety in recent memory can even approach. Last year’s 53 tackles and nine pass breakups don’t do justice to the number of times he obliterated and intimidated opposing receivers..
