Jared Goff & Kenny Lawler are Pac-12 first team offense!

Congrats Bears!

Jared Goff (who shares the honors for Pac-12 first team quarterback with Luke Falk) was Pac-12 honorable mention in his first two seasons at Cal. This year he broke his single-season records for passing yards (4,252), touchdown passes (37) and total offense (4,260) as a 2015 junior while becoming the ninth quarterback in Pac-12 history to throw for more than 4,000 yards in a campaign. Goff completed 316-of-492 (64.2%) passes for a 156.36 passer efficiency rating that currently ranks second on Cal’s all-time single-season list.

Goff leads the Pac-12 and ranks third in the nation in touchdown passes, while he is second in the conference and fourth nationally in passing yards and passing yards per game (354.3). Goff is also second in the league and in the top seven in the country in total offense (355.0, #5 NCAA), completions per game (26.33, #5 NCAA), points responsible for (230, #7 NCAA) and points responsible for per game (19.2, #7 NCAA).

Goff has started all 36 games possible over his first three campaigns at Cal and has set 26 records including career marks for passing yards (11,733), touchdown passes (90), completions (952) and total offense (11,635). He has completed 952-of-1532 passes (62.1%) and has a 141.94 passer efficiency rating that is currently third all-time at Cal

Kenny Lawler paces Cal with 47 receptions for 583 yards with his team-high 10 touchdown catches also a career-best and tied for third on the school's all-time single-season list. Lawler has had six or more receptions five times and a pair of 100-yard receiving games as a 2015 junior with a season-high-tying seven catches for a season-high 112 yards and one touchdown at Washington followed by six catches for 105 yards and two scores against Washington State. He also tied a school record for the third time in his career with three touchdown receptions in the season-opener against Grambling State.

Lawler's 24 career touchdown catches rank third all-time at Cal, while he has other career totals of 138 receptions and 1631 yards receiving in his first three campaigns on the field over 34 games played and 19 starts.

Goff is the first Cal quarterback to make all Pac-12 first team since Aaron Rodgers in 2004, and Lawler the first wide receiver since Keenan Allen in 2011.

Several other Cal players earned Pac-12 honorable mention: Wide receiver Bryce Treggs, tight end Stephen Anderson, offensive lineman Chris Borrayo, defensive end Kyle Kragen, safety Stefan McClure, and linebacker Hardy Nickerson.

Here's part of the press release from CalBears.com.

"I’m very honored to have been named first-team All-Pac-12 along with Luke [Falk]," Goff said. "There are a lot of good quarterbacks in this conference and there were several that could have been selected. My teammates played the biggest role in me obtaining this award. They are the reason I have been able to be successful this season. I can’t thank everyone enough – the receivers, offensive line, running backs and the defense for forcing turnovers. It’s an entire group effort when an individual award is named."

"It’s an amazing accomplishment and truly a blessing to be named first-team All-Pac-12," Lawler said. "I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this if wasn’t for my teammates and the tremendous competition we have at practice every day. I wanted to give a special thanks to one of the best quarterbacks in the country in Jared Goff; all of my fellow receivers for helping me get open against opposing defenses, and Darius White and all of our defensive backs that we go one-on-one with every day in practice. That’s what really makes me better. It’s a team accomplishment."

Borrayo has started all 12 games at left guard in 2015 to run his career total to 28. He was considered the top offensive lineman for a group that have helped the Bears break school records in 2015 for total offense (6,293), passing yardage (4,425) and passing touchdowns (38) that were previously set in 2014, with an opportunity to add single-season marks during its bowl game in total yards per game, passing yards per game, completions and first downs passing. Cal also ranks fifth nationally in passing offense (368.8 ypg), ninth in total offense (524.4 ypg) and 23rd in scoring offense (36.5 ppg). The offensive line did not allow a sack against Pac-12 leader Arizona State in its regular-season finale.

Kyle Kragen, DE, 6-2, 245, Sr., 1L, Danville, CA (Diablo Valley College/San Ramon Valley HS)
Kragen was one of four Cal players to start all 12 regular-season games on defense and leads the squad in tackles for loss (7.0, -39 yards), sacks (6.0, -32 yards) and quarterback hurries (5) while ranking second on the club with 65 tackles.

Stefan McClure, S, 5-11, 205, Sr., 3L, Vista, CA (Vista HS)
McClure recovered from a series of injuries that caused him to miss 25 of 49 possible games including the entire 2012 campaign over his first four seasons to start all 12 regular-season contests as a fifth-year senior in 2015. He has career highs of 52 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss (-11 yards), his first career sack (-9 yards), third career fumble recovery that he returned 45 yards for his first career touchdown against Washington State and two pass breakups.
