Arizona Wildcat running back Ka’Deem Carey is the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year for 2013.
Carey is the first Wildcat to ever win the award.

This season, Carey is second in the country with 156 yards per game. He owns or shares 21 school records and has rushed for more than 100 yards in 15 straight games.
Carey also earned Pac-12 First-Team honors for the second straight season.
