2025 Fantasy Outlook
Marchiol projects as the starter for the Mountaineers, although he will need to fend off Texas A&M transfer Jaylen Henderson. Head coach Rich Rodriguez makes his return to West Virginia and typically has a spread-option offense that is extremely fantasy-friendly. Both Marchiol's and Henderson's mobility and arm talent project well in this type of offense, which includes designed QB runs and RPOs. The Mountaineers will benefit from another season with RB Jahiem White; however, they will need to break in young receivers, as none of the top pass catchers from a year ago are back. West Virginia is truly a wildcard team for the conference this season. That's not quite as important in such a run-heavy offense, and Marchiol's involvement in the running game should make him a fantasy-worthy quarterback asset in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
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.
ANALYSIS
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.
