➡ MARIOTAHAYDEN KIM, @HAYDAYKIM “Mahalo, Marcus” were the final words spoken on Wednesday afternoon called it. He also redefined what it means to be a student athlete, as Oregon bid farewell to the most storied quarterback in program history. something that has recently been jumbled with the likes of Johnny Those two words couldn’t have been more fitting. Manziel and Jameis Winston, two controversial Heisman winners before Mariota, who is expected to be an early pick in the upcoming NFL Mariota. draft, decided to forgo his senior year to pursue what is expected to be a Simply put, Mariota brought much more to the table than the game of memorable pro career. football and it’s not something that can be wiped off with time. While fans would have enjoyed nothing more than to see Mariota return One of the moments that stuck out to me in the Oregon locker room for one last season, it was undoubtedly time for both sides to move on, following Mariota’s final game was Hroniss Grasu’s promise to the media. and for another organization to enjoy the countless benefits that come It was one that summarized what Mariota had meant to the program, a along with having Mariota under center, on and off the field. promise that looked ahead to an even brighter future. Mariota sent out the following message to everyone who has been “This will definitely keep up,” said Grasu. “With Coach Helfrich and the involved with his time at Oregon: “The support I received from the entire staff, they do an unbelievable job of getting us prepared every single University, the city of Eugene and Duck fans has been tremendous. I will week, every single day. We’ll be back, I promise you.” always remember the great times and support I received. Once a Duck, There will never be another Mariota and that’s okay. The point is that always a Duck.” the hard part is over. Laying the grounds for sustainable success isn’t Whoever gets Mariota will be getting an indisputable leader, not just a something many athletes can accomplish. prospect. The Ducks are forever grateful for players like Dan Fouts, Joey On that note, Mariota’s departure now leaves Oregon at a crossroads. Harrington and now Mariota for bringing this program to new heights, but Not because they don’t still have talent or veteran leadership. It’s also not that doesn’t mean there won’t be more to thank in the near future. because the direction of the program has suddenly changed. It’s because a Oregon will be okay without Mariota. The real question is: Can Oregon new era of Oregon is on the horizon. get over the hump and bring home their first title? Mariota took the Ducks to the promised land, despite losing to Ohio That remains to be seen, but if there was a team to do it – that has yet to State. He established a new meaning of “excellence,” as Mark Helfrich win one – it’s the Ducks.

Marcus Mariota’s departure from the program marks a period of transition for the Ducks football team.
