Evan Weaver Sr. Cal - Weaver could have won Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year last year. 155 tackles, 8.5 for-loss, 4.5 sacks, and two ints, including a pick six that resulted in Cal upsetting Washington? He’s a stat machine that should put up more with Jordan Kunasyzk graduated.
Troy Dye Sr. Oregon - Dye was better as a sophomore than a junior, but he still could have jumped to the NFL last year and didn’t. He’s the best athlete at linebacker in the conference and great at making plays in the backfield with elite size to finish with big hits.
