Zachary Marino brings redshirt-freshman size, proven championship pedigree to FAU's linebacker room
Marino enters Florida Atlantic as a **6-2, 220-pound** redshirt freshman linebacker who came from **three-time state champion** St. Thomas Aquinas, giving him a winning background and the physical profile coaches want at the position.[3] He redshirted in 2023, so he is still developing, but that also suggests room to grow rather than a finished product.[3] What makes him intriguing is the combination of size, pedigree, and upside: he looks like a depth-building, special-teams-friendly fit for a program that values tough, coached-up defenders.[3]
