The West Virginia Mountaineers have seen their first round of players announce their plans to enter the transfer portal now that the 2025 season has reached it's conclusion.
With a 49-man signing class entering the program before WVU even hits the portal to add to the roster, it's only natural that several WVU players will be planning to enter the portal themselves and find a new home. And while the transfer portal won't officially open until January 2, it's expected that players will start announcing their intent to hit the portal over the next few weeks. And before we get too deep into this, yes, Nicco Marchiol is expected to enter the portal and has been since the middle of the season, though he's made no announcement of his own yet regarding that decision.
