    Three Cougars made second team: OL Cole Madison (Sr.), DB Jalen Thompson (So.) and PK Erik Powell (Sr.).

    Washington’s honorable mentions were RB Salvon Ahmed (Fr.), LB Tevis Bartlett (Jr.), QB Jake Browning (Jr.), DB Myles Bryant (So.) and OL Nick Harris (So).

    Joining Falk on WSU’s honorable mention list: OL Andre Dillard (Jr.), LB Frankie Luvu (Sr.) and RB Jamal Morrow (Sr.).

    Falk led the Pac-12 with 30 TD passes. He set Pac-12 and WSU career records for passing yards (14,486), passing touchdowns (119), total offense (14,086), plays (2,306), completions (1,404), attempts (2,055) and 300-yard games (30).
