On Saturday night, Marcus Mariota won the 2014 Heisman Trophy Award as the nation’s outstanding college football player. Turns out he’s pretty outstanding off the field, too.
Marcus has volunteered at the Boys & Girls Club of Emerald Valley in Eugene since enrolling at the University of Oregon. The Club members clearly love him, as you can see in this sweet and funny video message they surprised him with over the weekend.
I don’t think they could have a better mentor than Marcus. His success as a student, athlete and community servant is a reminder why Clubs focus on our three priority outcome areas – to help kids find their great futures.
