Cole Pennington, the son of former NFL quarterback Chad Pennington, announced his intention to play college football at Marshall, much like his father did more than a decade ago.
"I’ve always dreamed of playing college football and I can’t thank the Marshall football staff enough for giving me this opportunity,” Cole said, per the Herald-Dispatch. “I’ll give everything that I have to be the best student-athlete I can be and represent the university with integrity.”
In his last two seasons, Cole passed for more than 4,000 yards and tossed 47 touchdowns, rushing for nine scores as well.
