If Santino Marchiol has a college football future, it won’t be as a member of the CU Buffs.
The former Cherry Creek High School football standout and his family were told by first-year Buffs coach Mel Tucker on Thursday that the 21-year-old linebacker is no longer welcome to join the program as a walk-on next month.
News broke Tuesday night that Marchiol, a former four-star prep prospect, had been arrested last month in Pueblo on suspicion of assault in a domestic violence case.
According to Pueblo police records, Marchiol was arrested at about 3:30 p.
