ESPN.com's 2014 All-America Team
Marcus Mariota
Quarterback | OregonWith just four interceptions to 31 touchdowns last year, Mariota was one of the most efficient quarterbacks in the country. He led the Ducks to an 11-2 record and a victory over Texas in the Alamo Bowl. While a partially torn MCL derailed his Heisman hopes last year, he's expected to be one of the front-runners for college football's top honor and is regarded by many as the top pick in the 2015 NFL draft. His dual-threat numbers (nine rushing touchdowns last year, 715 rushing yards) make him an attractive Heisman candidate, and his presence makes the Ducks an instant contender for a spot in the new College Football Playoff. -- Kevin Gemmell
