Three Pacific football players were voted to the All-Northwest Conference First Team Offense, including kick returner Zion Booker, who was also selected Special Teams Player of the Year by the NWC coaches.

Booker returned a kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown on Sept. 14 against Lewis & Clark and also had a 72-yard punt return touchdown at Puget Sound on Oct. 5.

Running back Brody Bantolina and receiver Josiah Chaffin were also named First Team All-Conference.

Bantolina led the NWC and finished second in all of Division-III with 1,533 rushing yards, also a new Pacific single-season record. His 15 rushing touchdowns tied the school record. Bantolina also broke the school record for rushing yards in a game, 256, and the longest run, 99, both coming against Lewis & Clark.

Chaffin finished his junior season with 55 receptions for 883 yards and eight touchdowns.

At safety, Booker was also named to the Second Team Defense after finishing his senior season with 39 total tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and three interceptions. 

Senior offensive lineman Darrion Maddox was voted to the Second Team Offense. 

Pacific Running back Kalai Pasi and defensive lineman Nehemiah Faleulu were both honorable mention selections for the Boxers. 

Whitworth quarterback Ryan Blair was named Offensive Player of the Year and Linfield linebacker Blake Rybar was voted Defensive Player of the Year for the third straight season. 

Linfield's Joseph Smith was selected Coach of the Year by his peers for the 13th time.
