Named starting QB for Week 1 Marchiol will be West Virginia's starting quarterback Saturday against Robert Morris, Pete Thamel of ESPN reports.

Impact Previously in a five-man race to be West Virginia's starting quarterback, the role will go to Marchiol, who outlasted Jaylen Henderson to win said job. The former will look to build off some promise he built in 2024, which includes his 66.1 completion percentage of 56 pass attempts for 434 yards and a 5-2 TD-INT ratio. He was not too shabby on the ground either, with an additional two touchdowns from 40 carries for 120 yards, 3.0 averaged per carry. Marchiol has a prime opportunity to show why he should be the WVU team's QB1, as he begins his 2025 season by taking on a non-FBS college in Robert Morris.

Co-starting with Henderson Marchiol is listed as a co-starter with Jaylen Henderson on West Virginia's initial depth chart, Ryan Decker of WBOY 12 News Clarksburg reports.

Impact The pair of quarterbacks will enter the Mountaineers' season opener against Robert Morris as co-starters, even though one should get more snaps in the game and eventuality the season. Marchiol looks to still have the edge at the QB1 role, but he'll still have to cede snaps to Henderson. The pair have been duking it out since fall camp, so the depth chart designation does still leave the final decision up in the air.

Possesses edge in QB competition Marchiol is the frontrunner to be West Virginia's starting quarterback for Week 1, Pete Nakos of On3.com reports.

Impact For 2025, Marchiol decided to re-enroll at West Virginia, needing a primary quarterback with Garrett Greene turning pro. Even though Marchiol's primary competition includes an SEC transfer in Jaylen Henderson, the former is favored just over two weeks before the Mountaineers are back in action by hosting Robert Morris on Aug. 30.
