HUNTINGTON â Former Thundering Herd quarterback Chad Pennington has been appointed by Gov. Jim Justice to serve on the Marshall University Board of Governors.
Board chair Patrick Farrell announced the appointment Friday in a tweet, and communications director Leah Payne confirmed Monday the university received the letter of appointment.
Pennington will replace James Farley, whose term expired June 30.
Farrell and James Ball also ended their terms June 30; however, Farrell was re-elected as board chair at the June meeting. Payne had no other information about appointments Monday morning as the university was on extended holiday.
Pennington, head football coach and athletic director Sayre School in Lexington, Kentucky, was a Rhodes Scholar finalist as a senior and also a finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy voting. He starred at Marshall from 1995 through 1999 and was a 2010 inductee into the universityâs sports hall of fame.

A chorus of young voices shout guesses from the Sayre School s playground in Lexington, Ky. 15? 50? 20?
The independent, pre-K-12 school has 10 buildings and about 500 students, so those guesses, albeit high, are understandable. The truth: The school has a maintenance staff of five. And now, the unsung heroes who make up that staff are the subject of a podcast that s won the middle school top prize in NPR s Student Podcast Challenge.
