Marcus mariota girlfriend heisman

Heisman winner Marcus Mariota is one of the most talked-about players in football as he prepares for his first season with the Tennessee Titans after being taken second overall in the 2015 draft.

Yet Mariota has kept a low profile off the field, avoiding social media and not talking much about his personal life.

The Oregon quarterback said on a Pac 12 Network podcast in October that he was single and not looking to get into a relationship.

But earlier in his career in Eugene, Mariota was dating Nicole Watase, a fellow Oregon student who had been with Mariota since the two went to junior prom together in their native Honolulu.

Here’s what we know about the Heisman winner and his high school sweetheart:
