EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon sophomores Justin Herbert and Calvin Throckmorton were named to the Pac-12 Conference All-Academic First Team Thursday, while 12 other Ducks' earned honorable mention recognition.
Herbert, a quarterback from Eugene, has a 4.08 grade-point average in biology. Throckmorton, an offensive lineman from Bellevue, Wash., has a 3.76 grade-point average in human physiology.
A seven-game starter as a true freshman last season, Herbert got the Ducks off to a 4-1 start this fall before being sidelined by a collar bone injury. He returned for the Arizona game and led the Ducks to wins in their final two games.
