Mariota, Oregon’s only Heisman winner, concluded his collegiate career as the most decorated player in program history.
He was the Pac-12’s first freshman named first-team all-conference and the league’s only three-time first-team quarterback.
Mariota guided the Ducks to a College Football Playoff national title appearance in January 2015, capping a 2014 season where he led Oregon to an 11-1 regular season, a Pac-12 title, and set league records for total offense (4,452 yards) and touchdowns (53).
He left as Oregon’s all-time leader in total offense (13,033 yards), passing yards (10,796), touchdown passes (105), total touchdowns (136), and career starts (41). He was selected No. 2 overall in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans.
Joining Mariota is Hroniss Grasu, the center who anchored Oregon’s offensive line during that same era. Grasu earned two AP All-America honors and was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy.
Also inducted are Jenna Prandini, a three-time NCAA track champion and 2015 Bowerman winner, and Sam Crouser, a two-time NCAA javelin champ and four-time Pac-12 winner who joins his father and uncle in the Hall.

Softball star Janie Reed (née Takeda), an Olympic medalist and elite centerfielder, rounds out the individual honorees.
Oregon’s women’s indoor track and field teams from 2011 to 2014 will also be enshrined. With their induction, all five of the Ducks’ consecutive national championship squads from 2010 through 2014 are now honored.
