University of Oregon standouts Marcus Mariota, Hroniss Grasu and Ifo Ekpre-Olomu all repeated as first-team Pac-12 Conference all-league selections as announced Monday morning by Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. Mariota becomes the league’s first two-time first-team all-conference quarterback since Stanford’s Andrew Luck received the recognition following the 2010 and 2011 seasons and is the Ducks’ first two-time honoree at that position since Chris Miller in 1985 and ‘86. In addition, senior defensive lineman Taylor Hart was accorded second-team all-league honors, as was junior defensive back Erick Dargan, who earned the distinction as a special team’s standout.
