Linebacker Darius Muasau and cornerback Cortez Davis were named on defense while all-purpose star Calvin Turner Jr., was selected as a punt returner. Both Davis and Turner are representing the Rainbow Warriors at the Media Days.
 
Nevada quarterback Carson Strong was named the Offensive Player of the Year; San José State defensive lineman Cade Hall was picked as the Defensive Player of the Year; and Utah State kick returner Savon Scarver was the Special Teams Player of the Year.
