Marchiol chose the Aggies over offers from Florida State, Florida, Ohio State and Miami.

“It was a long, hard recruiting process and it’s really tricky with every school telling you the same thing that they want you and there was a lot of reading between the lines with my recruiting,” Marchiol told 247 Sports. “At Texas A&M, I felt like it was the only place where they wanted me to be the first to commit but they never pressured me into it like these other places. I had a great relationship with everyone there, the players and the coaches.”
