Mariota was born on October 30, 1993, in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Alana Deppe-Mariota and Toa Mariota.
Mariota attended the Saint Louis School in Honolulu, where he was a two-sport star in football and track.
Mariota attended an Oregon football camp in the summer of 2010, which allowed Mark Helfrich, Oregon’s then offensive coordinator, to be one of the first recruiters to discover Mariota.
After the camp, Helfrich visited Mariota in Hawaii to watch the somewhat unrecognized quarterback practice going into his senior season.
Helfrich called Chip Kelly during the visit and they decided to immediately offer Mariota a scholarship, despite never starting a varsity game.
