Marcus Mariota’s new girlfriend

Marcus Mariota was seen with a new girl called Kiyomi Cook at the draft party in 2015. He had held this party at his hometown in Hawaii. It is said that when Mariota was in the fourth grade, he had written an essay in which he had put down the following predictions:

“I’m going to go to school at Saint Louis and play football, then move to USC, then the NFL, and I’ll marry a soccer player.”

All his predictions except about USC seem to have come true. Kiyomi Cook is a soccer player and has played 34 games in 4 years for Oregon’s women’s soccer team.

Cook graduated from Oregon with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Physiology. Marcus too has a similar degree. It is possible that Cook and Marcus spent a lot of time in their classroom. Marcus had also scored a 3.22 GPA and people credit Cook for such a good score.

Marcus initially was said to be dating his high school sweetheart Nicole Watase till 2014. Nicole Watase had also joined Oregon with Marcus though she was one year his junior. Watase has also been a cheerleader at St. Louis High School while Mariota was a Quarterback.

Marcus Mariota’s leadership qualities

Marcus Mariota is said to be having a great relationship not only with his girlfriend but also with his teammates.

He is said to boost them up whenever needed and at the same time is one amongst them. He supervises and guides them without making them feel that he is their boss.

His subordinates are very happy to have him as their leader. Before the draft, the NFL scouts were worried about placing Marcus in such a high position since he is considered to be very soft-spoken and at the same time does not touch alcohol.

But he was the deserving candidate and the NFL people are happy that they were not proven wrong by putting him in such an important position.

When the left tackle Taylor Lewan faced the wrath of all for some poor performance on the field, Marcus pulled him aside and told him:

“Don’t ever stop being yourself. I’m with you.”

Center Ben Jones said:

“We’ll do anything for Marcus,”

Praising Marcus, Lewan added:

“He goes out with us and he doesn’t drink, but he’s one of the boys. He doesn’t act like he’s above us. He’s not on a high horse. That’s awesome. I’m never going to pass judgment. It’s the perfect yin and yang between us.”

Marcus is such a threat for the opponents that Browns defensive coordinator Gregg Williams said about Marcus:

“When we’re playing those kinds of guys, we’re pretty well-versed on making those decisions and trying to make him do what we want him to do. But he’s very dangerous when he gets out there. I hope his hamstring is hurting a lot.”
