Despite wearing Johnny Manziel jerseys for much of last season, Drake is ready to fly a new flag. While performing in Washington state recently, Drake sported a Marcus Mariota jersey on stage, and alternated between the white and black colorways.
Drak has long been known to hop on the front-runner bandwagon, and with Marcus Mariota looking like just that when it comes to the Heisman, Drake made sure to show off his Oregon pride.

Obviously Duck Nation is well represented around the country, no just in Oregon, but it only makes sense for Drake to get on board. After all, Nike welcomed Drake into their family recently, and the Ducks are the birthplace of it all.
To go along with the Mariota jerseys, Drake completed the outfit with Air Jordan “Oregon Duck” Retro 4’s and 5’s. With both shoes being emblazoned with green, yellow, and Oregon Ducks insignia’s, it was the perfect complement to the jersey he decided to don.
Whether you like it or not Ducks fans, it looks like Nike has made sure to get Drake on the Oregon Ducks bandwagon.
While the nation sat on watching as the Ducks dismantled a strong Michigan State team just a weekend ago, the Ducks elevated their game to prove they are ready for the big stage. With both USC and Stanford having fallen, the Ducks are in control of their own destiny.
