WVU Football 2025 Commit Fires Shot at Schools Trying to Flip Him

Other programs will need a lot of luck if they hope to flip one particular WVU football commit. Class of 2025 top recruit Teriq Malloy said as much on Friday, posting “you got a better chance of winning the lottery than flipping me” on X (formerly Twitter).

Mallory, 6-foot-5, 195-pound wide receiver, committed to West Virginia on June 4. In ironic fashion based on Mallory’s most recent statement, he initially committed to Wake Forest in April before eventually flipping to the Mountaineers.

Prior to his latest commitment, the WVU staff hosted Mallory on campus for an official visit, which ended up completing the flip from Wake Forest.

Mallory has repeatedly mentioned WVU wide receiver coach Bilal Marshall on social media. Marshall has been Mallory’s lead recruiter, leveraging his position as wide receivers coach and his standing as a former player.

Back in January, the New Haven, Conn. native and Cheshire Academy product received an offer from the Mountaineers and then celebrated by talking with Tavon Austin.

“Just got off the phone with MY GOAT TAVON AUSTIN after being offered by WVU,” said Mallory at the time.

WVU was among the first major conference programs to show interest in Mallory, joining Connecticut, Maryland and Massachusetts at the time of the offer. While Rivals has awarded Mallory as a three-star wide receiver, other major recruiting outlets have his position more fluid and list him as just an athlete due to his experience at cornerback.

Mallory is classified as a consensus three-star prospect and universally ranked among the top 10 players in Connecticut and top 200 wide receivers nationally.
