Expected to medically redshirt Marchiol (foot) is expected to medically redshirt, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact One more game, and Marchiol uses a year of collegiate eligibility. But during Week 4, at Kansas, he suffered a foot injury. Due to it, many of West Virginia's 2025 games may not include Marchiol, whose medical redshirt would preserve two years of collegiate eligibility.

Expected to miss several weeks Marchiol (foot) is expected to miss several weeks as he recovers from his foot ailment, per Schuyler Callihan of SI.com.

Impact Marchiol is reportedly out in Arizona, conferring with doctors in the quarterback's home state. Thus, he's a lock to miss Friday night against BYU, and could sit out longer, although it's worth noting the Mountaineers have a bye in Week 7 following the game against the Cougars. In his stead, Jaylen Henderson got the start against Utah in Week 5 and struggled mightily -- West Virginia can't have its starting quarterback back soon enough.

Impact Marchiol has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's game, leaving Jaylen Henderson as the likely candidate to lead the offense against Utah. There has not been any update on the status of the injury since it was publicized, as Marchiol should be viewed as week-to-week until more information is revealed.

Questionable for Week 5 Marchiol is seeing a specialist for his foot injury and is questionable for Saturday's game against Utah, Nick Farrell of WVIllustrated.com reports.

Impact The announcement comes from West Virginia's head coach Rich Rodriguez, a statement that confirms Marchiol suffered some kind of foot injury between West Virginia's latest game Saturday (at Kansas) and Tuesday. Ideally, the Big 12 Conference's availability report (to be updated Wednesday) will give a better indication of Marchiol playing in Week 5. Otherwise, the Mountaineers will have to rely on someone else under center, with Jaylen Henderson being the favorite.

Shut down by Jayhawks Marchiol was 15-for-27 passing for 126 yards and one interception during Saturday's 41-10 defeat to Kansas. He also had six rushes for negative four yards.

Impact Marchiol threw his second interception of the season and struggled to convert on third down for the Mountaineers. West Virginia continued to utilize multiple quarterbacks as they have done in most of their games this year. It won't get an easier next week when they host a good Utah team.

Struggles on the road Marchiol completed 15 of 26 passes for 178 yards and one interception during Saturday's 17-10 loss to Ohio. He also had 11 rushes for nine yards.

Impact Marchiol struggled against the Bobcats on the road and was temporarily benched for Jaylen Henderson. Henderson also struggled which caused the team go back to Marchiol. The worst news for the Mountaineers was that they lost their star RB Jahiem White to a leg injury. This could have a serious impact on West Virginia's season and it's not good timing at all as they go up against a good Pittsburgh team next week.
