A couple months after Teriq Mallory was greeted by a WVU football legend to celebrate his offer from the Mountaineers, the wide receiver recruit is close to picking a school.
Mallory posted a graphic, revealing West Virginia as one of his top four schools on Thursday. He’s also considering Duke, Maryland and Wake Forest.
Back in January, the class of 2025 three-star speedster out of New Haven, Connecticut received an offer from the Mountaineers and then celebrated by talking with Tavon Austin. “Just got off the phone with MY GOAT TAVON AUSTIN after being offered by WVU,” said Mallory at the time.
Mallory (6-foot-5, 192 pounds) also mentioned WVU wide receivers coach Bilal Marshall in one of his posts on X (Twitter). Marshall is Mallory’s lead recruiter.
Ranked as a three-star prospect by Rivals, Mallory attends Cheshire Academy. Mallory’s West Virginia offer is his fourth from a Division I program.
WVU was among the first major conference programs to show interest in Mallory, joining Connecticut, Maryland and Massachusetts at the time of the offer. While Rivals has awarded Mallory as a three-star wide receiver, other major recruiting outlets actually have his position more fluid and regarded as just an athlete.
