WVU quarterbacks coach Rhett Rodriguez called Marriott to officially extend him the offer on Tuesday.
A 6-foot-4, 215-pound product of Platte County High School in Missouri, Marriott is rated as a consensus three-star and inside 247 Sports’ top 10 in the state for his class.
While West Virginia now becomes his biggest offer, Marriot also has offers from schools like Bowling Green, Kent State, Tulsa and UNLV among others.
