Can he pick up Conference POY, Freshman POY and Defensive POY together? Has anyone done this before?

I don't think so. Just the thought of a player can win both offensive and defensive Player of the Year awards becomes very daunting.
In Pac-12, three players have won both POY and Rookie of the Year awards in the same year.
1995-96, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Cal
2007-08, Kevin Love, UCLA
2017-18, Deandre Ayton, UA
The PAC-12 Defensive POY was not issued in 1995-96 and goes to
2007-08, Russell Westbrook, UCLA
2017-18, Matisse Thybulle, UW
E. Mobley is solid on both ends of the game. Let's root for Evan to win this triple crown. This could be a history-making year for him and USC.Last edited by CST_SC1; 02-17-2021, 12:01 PM.Comment

As a matter of fact, two more PAC-12 players have received two top individual awards in the same year:
2011-12, Jorge Gutierrez, CAL --- for both Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year;
1986-87, Gary Payton, OSU --- for Defensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year.
Payton, as a senior in 1989-90, received Player of the Year award also.
Nobody has won all three individual awards in the same year in PAC-12 history. Can Evan Mobley of USC be the trailblazer to achieve this great treat?
Well, he definitely got my vote.
