Marrow played basketball at Youngstown State University for two years (1988–89). He transferred to the University of Toledo where he played in 11 games as a tight end in his final collegiate season. He was named to the All-Mid-American Conference second-team in 1991.[3]

Marrow was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the 11th round of the 1992 NFL draft (307th pick overall).[4]

Coaching career

Marrow was named tight ends coach for the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League on May 10, 2010.[5]

Marrow spent two years (2011–12) as a graduate assistant at the University of Nebraska. Under long-term acquaintance Bo Pelini, Marrow served as a tutor to the tight ends. In 2012, Nebraska was granted a waiver from the NCAA to allow Marrow to recruit off campus while associate head coach Barney Cotton was unable to travel while recovering from surgery.

In December 2012, Marrow earned a full-time position as an assistant coach for the University of Kentucky under head coach Mark Stoops and received a promotion a year later to recruiting coordinator.
