Nicco Marchiol to Return to WVU Football

West Virginia University quarterback Nicco Marchiol has announced his decision to return for the 2025 season, despite the recent coaching change from Neal Brown to Rich Rodriguez. Marchiol expressed his gratitude for the support he has received from the Morgantown community and his teammates, emphasizing his commitment to restore the pride of the program. In the 2024 season, he completed 37 of 56 passes for 434 yards, five touchdowns, and two interceptions, showcasing his potential as a starting quarterback.
