The Outland Trophy is awarded to the best interior lineman in college football on either side of the ball. Presented annually since 1946, the prestigious honor is the third oldest award in major college football and named after the late John Outland, an All-American lineman at Penn and Kansas at the turn of the century. Summers-Gavin has previously earned 2012 preseason first-team All-Pac-12 honors from Phil Steele and Blue Ribbon, while being named second-team all-conference by Athlon and third-team according to Lindy's. He started all 13 games in 2011 and was a third-team All-Pac-12 pick of Steele, while the league's coaches selected him honorable mention. He has played in 32 games over the last three seasons for the Golden Bears and is Cal's active career leader with 25 starts.
Tipoti is also a 2012 preseason first-team All-Pac-12 choice of Steele and a 2011 honorable mention all-conference pick of the league's coaches, while adding a third-team All-Pac-12 selection from College Sports Madness last year. He recorded career highs of 25 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss (-22 yards), 1.5 sacks (-15 yards), one pass breakup and one forced fumble over 11 games and six starts in 2011.
