There are several Oregon Ducks on the list, three on the offensive side of the ball including Quarterback Marcus Mariota, Running Back Byron Marshall and Center Hroniss Grasu. Both Mariota and Grasu decided in the offseason to return to Oregon for one more year over taking their talents to the National Football League, as did the choice on the Defensive side of the ball.
