While Marcus Mariota prepares for the 2015 NFL Draft, his younger brother will reportedly continue the family tradition of playing football for the Ducks.
Matthew Mariota, a 6-foot-3, 230-pound defensive lineman/outside linebacker from Honolulu, Hawaii, will join Oregon's football program "likely as a preferred walk-on," according to KHON2.
The younger Mariota is not a highly-touted prospect, but he was an ILH (Interscholastic League of Honolulu) honorable mention pick during his senior year.
Oregon's 2015 recruiting class is bolstered by five early enrollees, four of them receiving four or five-star rankings from 247Sports.com. The Ducks currently have the No. 2 class in the Pac-12, behind USC according to the team rankings, and check in at No. 16 nationally.
