Couple of comments.
1. 4.0 student in HS? Wonder why we didn't recruit him?

2. Glad to see he's getting his degree. That definitely makes it even less likely he'll hang around the Duck pond for another year.

I don't know anything about Mariota's academics. But I wouldn't put too much stock in the somewhat casual reference to his being a 4.0 student. Sometimes a 4.0 is real, and sometimes it's a Reggie Bush 4.0 (which turned out to be far, far away from a 4.0 when the transcript arrived).
