The Pac-12 Conference announced its football weekly awards for Week 9 of the 2026 season, according to a statement released on Nov. 2, 2026. The announcement includes the first dual winner of the season.
Boise State wide receiver Rasean Jones was named both the Offensive Player of the Week and the Freshman of the Week. In Boise State's 46-45 victory over Texas State, Jones set career highs with nine receptions, 117 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. His performance included a 11-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter that gave the Broncos a 40-39 lead. Jones is the first player to win both awards in the same week since Jaydn Ott of Cal in Week 4 of 2022. He also joined Jesse Legree of Oregon State as the only players to record 100+ receiving yards and three touchdowns in a single game this season.
Fresno State defensive lineman Dylan Hampsten earned Defensive Player of the Week honors following a 38-22 win over Oregon State. Hampsten recorded seven tackles, including five solo stops, two sacks, and a forced fumble. His strip-sack in the second quarter helped the Bulldogs preserve a 21-9 halftime lead and snap a five-game winning streak for the Beavers. Hampsten currently ranks second in the Pac-12 on the season with five sacks and 9.0 tackles for loss.
Oregon State kicker Caleb Ojeda was named the Special Teams Player of the Week. Ojeda made all three field goal attempts during the game against Fresno State, including a 54-yarder that serves as his career long and the longest field goal by a Pac-12 kicker this season. He has made all 37 of his extra-point attempts this season and has accounted for 10 of Oregon State's 22 points in the game.
Other nominees for the Week 9 awards included Bryson Donelson of Fresno State, Brad Jackson of Texas State, and McCae Hillstead of Utah State for the offensive category. Jesse Legree of Oregon State was also nominated for Freshman of the Week. For the defensive category, nominees were Tymere Jackson of Texas State and Carson Tujague of Utah State.
