Shane Marinelli joined the Florida Atlantic University staff in February of 2022 after being a part of the FAU family since his undergraduate work and then as a loyal fan. Continued his work through a coaching change and then added responsibility through another being named Assistant Director of Player Personnel / High School Relations in 2025.
Marinelli earned his Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration from FAU in 2014. As a student, he was a constant in the stands. He tirelessly recruited a student-fan base from the general population and his fraternity, where he served as the vice president for recruitment, to see a 25 percent increase.
From 2018 until fall 2021, Marinelli covered high school recruiting for FAUOwlsnest.com. In the fall of 2021, he began managing the 24/7 FAU account. In both positions, Marinelli scoured high school camps and games as well as 7-on-7 games across the state, all to build relationships with high school coaches and players.
While attending FAU, the South Florida native served in the United States Army Reserves – 873rd QM Company (October 2012-October 2017), where he finished in the top-5 of his logistics training class.
Marinelli brings familiarity of both FAU and South Florida to the position as a Broward County native and Monarch High School alumnus.
