Coaches of the Pac-12 Conference bestow the following awards at the end of each football season. The conference was founded in its current form as the Athletic Association of Western Universities in 1959, but traces its roots to the Pacific Coast Conference, founded in 1915. The conference name changed to Pacific-8 Conference (Pac-8) in 1968 and Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) in 1978. The conference's 2011 expansion to 12 members saw the conference formally renamed as the Pac-12 Conference.
After the 2023 season, the Pac-12 lost 10 members to other power conferences, with Oregon State and Washington State as the only remaining members. The conference operated with only those teams in the 2024 and 2025 seasons. The Pac-12 will resume full operation in 2026 with eight football members.
Award started in 1975 as Player of the Year, any offensive or defensive players could be winners, but only offensive players won it. The award was replaced with separate offensive and defensive selections in 1983.

Voit Memorial Trophy was awarded from 1951 to 1978 to the outstanding college football player on the Pacific Coast and was awarded each year to a conference player. The Pop Warner Trophy was awarded from 1949 to 2004 to the most valuable senior on the West Coast and was not limited to conference players.
From 1983 to 2003, this award was known simply as Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. In 2004, the award was renamed as Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year in honor of Arizona State's Pat Tillman.
