Some may call it corny, but I think it was pretty cool that Marcus Mariota wore a tie to the Heisman Trophy ceremony that matched his father’s shirt.
Mariota’s father, Toa, is Samoan and was there in New York to witness his son winning the first Heisman Trophy in Oregon’s history. Toa wore his shirt with the top button open and a chain underneath. Marcus matched the print of Toa’s shirt with his tie, though he was wearing a gray suit and black dress shirt to keep it classy.
