In eighth grade Marrow caught the attention of Hampton coach Edward Joyner at a basketball camp, and Joyner offered him a scholarship on the spot. In his youth Marrow befriended Allen Iverson, whom he considers like a big brother and the greatest player of all time.[1] Marrow played for Heritage High School in Newport News, Virginia as a freshman and sophomore, then transferred to New Hope Christian Academy in Thomasville, North Carolina before his junior season. He returned to Heritage as a senior and was their top scorer, averaging 31 points per game. In January 2016, Marrow committed to Hampton.[2][3]
Marrow made an instant impact at Hampton as a freshman, averaging 15.6 points, 3.0 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game but struggled with turnovers.[4] He averaged 18.8 points, five rebounds and 5.4 assists per game as a sophomore, leading Hampton to the MEAC title game.[5] He earned First Team All-MEAC honors.[6] As a junior, Marrow averaged 24.4 points, 4.9 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game, shooting 37 percent from behind the arc.[7] He was named to the First Team All-Big South.[8] Following the season, he declared for the 2019 NBA draft but later withdrew his name.[9] In August 2019, he announced he was entering the transfer portal.[10] However, Marrow later announced he was staying at Hampton.[11] As a senior, Marrow surpassed Rick Mahorn as Hampton's all-time leading scorer during a win over UNC Asheville.[3] Marrow scored 18 points as Hampton lost to Winthrop in the Big South championship game 75-68. He finished his career with 2,680 points, the 27th highest in Division I history.[12] He averaged 24.8 points and 6.5 assists per game as a senior and became the first two-time national Player of the Year as selected by BoxToRow, covering historically black colleges in NCAA Division I.[13] He was named to the First Team All-Big South and finished second to Carlik Jones in conference Player of the Year voting.[14]
