A sophomore linebacker from Riverside, Campbell registered 51 tackles (18 solo) on the season, including 8.5 tackles for losses. He also recorded two sacks and one interception.
A senior defensive end from Pomona, Villagomez earns an All-Conference selection for the second straight season after garnering First Team honors in 2009. This season, Villagomez collected 52 tackles (21 solo) along with 12 tackles for losses. He led the team in sacks with 4.5 and forced one fumble.
Appleford also earns an All-Conference selection for the second straight season after a Second Team nod in 2009. A junior offensive lineman from Brea, Appleford helped anchor the Leopard O-line during the 2010 campaign, yielding only two sacks in 309 pass attempts the entire year.
