Kikaha, Mariota honored by Pac-12

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.
