For the second time this season, Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson has been named the offensive lineman of the week.

During the Ducks’ 31-7 win over Oregon State on Friday, Powers-Johnson played a pivotal role in helping Oregon’s offensive click. The standout junior recorded two knockdowns and earned an 81.1 pass-blocking grade from Pro Football Focus.

He did not allow a quarterback pressure in 42 pass-blocking snaps. Oregon’s offense racked up 480 yards of total offense against a stout Oregon State defense and did not punt until the second half.

On the season, Powers-Johnson owns a 90.9 Pro Football Focus pass-blocking grade, which is the best in the nation among centers who play regularly. His overall PFF grade of 81.7 ranks second among centers.

Powers-Johnson also won Pac-12 offensive lineman of the week in Week 4, following Oregon’s blowout win over Colorado.

Multiple Ducks were nominated for Week 13 conference honors. Bo Nix (offensive player of the week) Jordan Burch (defensive player and defensive lineman of the week), and Matayo Uiagalelei (freshman of the week) also received consideration.

The No. 5 Ducks (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12) will travel to Las Vegas this week to face off with No. 3 Washington (12-, 9-0) in the Pac-2 title game. The game is slated for a 5 p.m. PT kickoff and will air on ABC.

Oregon will be looking to avenge its Week 7 loss to the Huskies in Seattle.
