Quarterback Andrew Luck and linebacker Brent Etiz were named to the Pac-12 Conference All-Academic First Team on Thursday, leading a list of 12 total players who earned All-Academic Conference honors.

All-American right guard David DeCastro and cornerback Johnson Bademosi both made the Second Team. And defensive end Henry Anderson, tight end Coby Fleener, long snapper Andrew Fowler, punter David Green, defensive end Matt Masifilo, linebacker Shayne Skov, wide receiver Griff Whalen and kicker Jordan Williamson all earned honorable mentions.

It was a drop off from last year, when 19 players earned All-Academic selections. But Luck, Fleener, DeCastro and Whalen were all repeat honorees. In order to be eligible for selection, the student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA and be either a starter or significant substitute, according to the Pac-12.
