Stanford’s Christian McCaffrey and Solomon Thomas are the lone Bay Area players named to the All-Pac-12 first team Tuesday, an honor roll dominated by North Division-champion Washington and USC.

McCaffrey, a junior, is a dual-selection choice: a repeat selection at running back and an honorable mention as a punt returner. Despite battling injuries this season, last year’s Heisman Trophy runner-up led the conference with 1,603 rushing yards.

Thomas, a redshirt sophomore defensive lineman, finished in the top five in the Pac-12 in sacks (7) and tackles for loss (13).
