Kikaha, Mariota honored by Pac-12
Hau’oli Kikaha and Marcus Mariota have been named 2014-’15 recipients of prestigious Pac-12 Tom Hansen Conference Medals.
The conference said the medals, presented since 1960-’61, recognize member institutions’ outstanding senior male and female student-athletes based on "the exhibition of the greatest combination of performance and achievement in scholarship, athletics and leadership."
Kikaha, a Kahuku High and Washington graduate, was selected in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints.
Mariota, a Saint Louis School and Oregon graduate, was a first-round pick of the Tennessee Titans.
Kikaha and Mariota will be among the medal winners featured in a one-hour "Pride of the Pac" show July 9 on the Pac-12 Networks.
