High school

[edit]

Marable attended Christian Brothers High School in Memphis, Tennessee from 2001 to 2005. Marable was a three time place winner at the Tennessee state tournament, winning state titles in 2004 and 2005, and finishing runner-up in 2003. Marable won the 2003 U.S. Freestyle Cadet National Championship at 145-pounds.

College

[edit]

At the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, Marable was a three-time NCAA qualifier and two-time NCAA All-American, finishing third in 2008 and seventh in 2009. Marable finished his college career with 116 wins, which was the eighth-most in Missouri history at the time of his graduation.

Senior level

[edit]

Marable would have continued wrestling success at the international level upon graduating college in 2010. His notable tournament wins include the 2011 Pan American Championships, 2013 NYAC International, 2014 Yasar Dogu, 2014 Grand Prix of Paris, and the 2015 Dave Schultz Memorial.

At the 2014 Yasar Dogu Tournament, in the quarter-finals, Marable beat Jordan Burroughs 4–4 on criteria. This marked the first loss of Jordan Burroughs' career at the senior level and broke Burroughs' unbroken win streak since 2011.

Marable would represent the United States at the 2014 World Wrestling Championships, finishing 2-1 and in 8th place in the 70 kg weight class after losing to two-time bronze medalist Ali Shabanau.
