A ceremony to offer a traditional Hawaiian blessing of Marcus Mariota’s Heisman Trophy display was held Saturday morning, with the former UO quarterback on hand to participate.
Two days removed from quarterbacking the Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville, Mariota and his family joined Penny and Phil Knight, UO coach Mark Helfrich and others for the ceremony in the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex.
Mariota’s Heisman Trophy, the first won by a UO football player, is mounted on a base of eight layers representing foundational elements of his life including family, Hawaii, his teammates in high school and college, and the Oregon program.
