Recorded: April 21st 2025

This week on Bussin’ With The Boys, Will Compton and Taylor Lewan's spring tour rolls on with Heisman-winning Oregon QB and legendary Tennessee Titans and now Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota. Marcus joins the boys at Oregon's campus to give an all-access look into his journey from his college success to becoming a veteran NFL quarterback.

First, Taylor and Will talk Taylor Lewan's new Netflix show, Battle Camp! The Boys then recap Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter's numbers getting retired, give takes on Bryce Underwood, Nico Iamaleava's move to UCLA, and their upcoming Nebraska Cornhusker spring tour stop.

Then Marcus Mariota hops on the bus for a long-awaited convo about his journey—from his Heisman-winning days at Oregon to the Tennessee Titans to the Atlanta Falcons and now The Washington Commanders. Marcus also tells behind-the-scenes stories of his time on Netflix’s Quarterback, his life in Hawaii, and what’s next for the 10-year NFL vet.
