Despite not having the best of seasons in the win-loss column, the Stanford Cardinal still had some major bright spots.

In Troy Taylor's first year at the helm, he was required to replace nearly all of the team's starting lineup from a year ago. In doing so, they had youngsters emerge as stars and building blocks for the program forward as they embark on their journey to the ACC. When the Pac-12 honors were recently announced there were a total of five players who were recognized, with four of them returning for next season.

Here are the Stanford Cardinal players who were named to an All-Pac-12 team or received a Pac-12 Honorable Mention, and how they performed this season statistically.
