WVU's QB Coach Evaluates Nicco Marchiol, Garrett Greene

West Virginia's QB competition is just getting ramped up.

If you're constantly refreshing your Twitter (X) or Facebook feed looking to see a post where WVU officially names a starting quarterback, stop. Give yourself a little bit of a break because it doesn't feel like the staff is anywhere near ready to make that decision.

Both Garrett Greene and Nicco Marchiol have made strides in their development, but there's still some work that needs to be done in order for one to create some separation and force the staff's hand to make a call on the battle.

Friday afternoon, quarterbacks coach Sean Reagan discussed how the start of camp has gone for each of them.

"I'll start with Nicco. He's really, really talented. He's had a pretty good fall camp so far. It's been a lot of ebb and flow for him. Ups and downs. But what he really does a good job of is when he makes a bad decision or a couple in a row, his resilience and response to that to make a good play after that, shows his maturity. Maybe some days it's fast for him. Maybe some days it's not. He's improving each and every day and proud of where he's at right now.

"Garrett, Garrett's athletic. You all know he can use his legs to help us out. He's really improved with his eyes. The next step we got to do is we got to get him to not think as much and just react. We have rules to the plays and sometimes he goes out there and he goes I think, I thought, I thought, I thought. If we can get those plays eliminated, then he's got a chance to be really good as well.

"Pretty pleased where we're at. We still got a long way to go, but I think we got 22 days so that's plenty of time to get where we need to get to. I'm happy where we're at at this point in camp."
