Hungalu, a third-teamer, is coming off a breakout season, ranking second on the team with 83 tackles and adding three fumble recoveries, one interception, four pass breakups and three quarterback hurries.

Crawford (third team) and Lavaka (fourth team) were both Freshman All-Americans in 2016, with Crawford tallying 70 tackles, 10 pass breakups, one interception and one forced fumble and Lavaka emerging as a starter at left guard during Pac-12 play.
