Good news, Oregon Ducks fans. Your quarterback Marcus Mariota will not be entering the NFL Draft next spring. Mariota—who at one time was projected to be the No. 1 pick in the draft—is returning to Oregon next year to play one more season with the Ducks. Center Hroniss Grasu will also be staying in Eugene, Ore. according to an Instagram post put up by the Ducks a short time ago.
"Marcus Mariota & Hroniss Grasu have announced they'll return to the Ducks in 2014," the post said. "#goducks."
That's good news for Oregon. But very bad news for the rest of the Pac-12.
