The unwavering support of the fans, the warmth of the community, and the brotherhood I share with my teammates have made this place truly special. I’m honored to be back for 2025, ready to finish what I came here to do – win games and help restore the pride and glory that this incredible community deserves. Thank you, WVU, for believing in me, supporting me, and making this journey unforgettable. Let’s make 2025 a year we’ll all cherish for a lifetime! Let’s go to work.

Great to see Nicco come back under RichRod. We’ll finally find out how good he can be under a coach that is actually able to develop quarterbacks. I think they are going to be a great match and the team is going to thrive under vastly improved coaching.
