WVU Football in the Mix for CONTROVERSIAL 4⭐️ Quarterback!

38 minutes

The Mountaineers are reportedly pursuing one of the biggest names to hit the transfer portal: QB Marcus Stokes. The former four-star recruit was one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2023 class, initially committing to Florida before his scholarship was withdrawn due to a viral video showing him using a racial slur.

Stokes spent the 2024 and 2025 seasons at Division II West Florida, where he had a highly productive year, completing over 60% of his passes for nearly 3,300 yards with 30 TDs and 13 INTs in 2025, according to a recent report, and was a finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy (D-II's top player).

In this video, we break down:

The Player: What kind of talent and stats would Stokes bring to the WVU offense?

The Baggage: We dive into the controversial incident that led to his decommitment from Florida and the conversation around second chances in college football.

The Fit: Where does Stokes stand on the WVU quarterback depth chart, and how would this transfer impact the team and the fan base?

Portal Rumors: Latest news on other P5 programs pursuing Stokes, including Syracuse, Florida State, and Iowa, as per On3's Pete Nakos' post on X.

Will Rich Rodriguez and the WVU staff take a chance on a high-risk, high-reward transfer? And will Stokes even choose WVU? Let us know in the comments below!
