1951 All-Pacific Coast football team

American all-star college football team August 2023 The 1951 All-Pacific Coast football team consists of American football players chosen by the Associated Press (AP) and the United Press (UP) as the best college football players by position in the Pacific Coast region during the 1951 college football season. The AP selections included separate offensive and defensive units and were based on the consensus views of "football experts and coaches throughout the Pacific Coast." The UP selections did not include a separate defensive unit and were made by the region's coaches. The 1951 Stanford Indians football team won the Pacific Coast Conference championship with a 9–2 record. Stanford dominated the AP selections with six players, three on offense and three on defense. Two Pacific Coast players, end Bill McColl of Stanford and guard Les Richter of California, were also consensus picks on the 1951 All-America college football team.Football Award Winners National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) 2016 October 21, 2017 8 http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/2016/awards.pdf Five of the players named to the first team were later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame: McColl, Richter, and backs Frank Gifford of USC, Ollie Matson of the University of San Francisco, and Hugh McElhenny of Washington State.
