STANFORD, Calif. – Fresh off four straight road wins to complete the regular season at 4-2 overall, 15 Cardinal garnered All-Pac-12 recognition on Tuesday afternoon. Thomas Booker, Drew Dalman and Simi Fehoko earned first-team honors, while Booker and Jet Toner were named to the second team.
Booker, a junior from Ellicott City, Md., earned first-team recognition at the all-purpose/special teams spot while garnering second-team attention for his play on the defensive line. Booker made his mark on the Cardinal special teams units with two blocked PATs in back-to-back weeks, the first of which clinched a one-point Big Game win for Stanford. A captain, Booker also had 21 tackles, three for loss, a sack, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery in six games. Last season Booker was named honorable mention All-Pac-12.
Dalman, a senior for Salinas, Calif., led the resurgence of the Tunnel Workers Union. Dalman's grade of 84.8 from Pro Football Focus was the highest among all centers in the Pac-12. Behind Dalman, who has started 18 consecutive games for the Cardinal, Stanford averaged 420.2 yards per game, including 287.3 yards per game through the air and 132.8 on the ground. Stanford was much-improved on third down (48% in 2020 vs. 39% in 2019) and red-zone offense (78% TDs in 2020 vs. 47% TDs in 2019). Dalman earned second team All-Pac-12 in 2019.
Fehoko, a junior from Sandy, Utah, is fresh off a school-record 16 receptions for 230 yards and three touchdowns, helping lead the Cardinal from behind to a two-overtime win at UCLA. Fehoko's 230 yards were the third-most in school history. Fehoko finished with 37 receptions for 584 yards and three touchdowns. His 584 yards led the Pac-12, as did his 97.3 yards per game.
Toner, a fifth-year from Honolulu, Hawaii, had a strong season coming back from last season's injury. He finished the season 7-of-11 on field goal attempts, making the final seven after missing all four in the season opener. Despite a missed PAT at UCLA, Toner set a new school record with 113 consecutive made PATs prior to that miss. He is now 118-of-119 (.992) in his career for PATS, the fifth-most makes in school history, while his 280 career points are third in Stanford history. This year marks the third time in his career he has earned All-Pac-12 honors.
