West Virginia quarterback officially announced that he would be back next season for the Mountaineers despite the coaching change.
Marchiol was originally recruited by Neal Brown who was fired by the university on Dec. 1, 2024. Now, Marchiol will play under former and new Mountaineer head coach Rich Rodriguez.
After seeing limited time in his first two seasons in Morgantown, Marchiol stepped up with starting quarterback Garrett Greene sidelined for multiple games. In 2024, as a redshirt sophomore, Marchiol completed 37 passes on 56 attempts for 434 yards, throwing five touchdowns and two interceptions.
As a starter, Marchiol is undefeated in his career at WVU. He defeated Arizona and Cincinnati in 2024 on top of defeating Texas Tech in 2023.
“Morgantown has felt like home from the moment I first stepped on campus. The unwavering support of the fans, the warmth of the community, and the brotherhood I share with my teammates have made this place truly special. I’m honored to be back for 2025, ready to finish what I came here to do — win games and help restore the pride and glory that this incredible community deserves. Thank you, WVU, for believing in me, supporting me and making this journey unforgettable,” Marchiol wrote in his announcement. “Let’s make 2025 a year we’ll all cherish for a lifetime! Let’s go to work. Greatness is waiting.”
The Chandler, Arizona native has two years of remaining eligibility.
