FAU OFFENSIVE LINEMAN NAMED GO BOWLING

MILITARY BOWL STEM SCHOLAR-ATHLETE

Florida Atlantic University offensive lineman Federico Maranges, a graduate student with a degree in biology and neuroscience, has been named a Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete for the second consecutive year.

Maranges, who is from Puerto Rico, graduated magna cum laude with a 3.75 grade-point average while also taking a minor in psychology. He is working toward a master’s degree in biomedical science and currently is researching cancer treatments on different cell lines.

Maranges also is the president of the FAU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, where he uses his platform to raise mental health awareness among athletes and the community.

“Through this experience, I have built skills in leadership, communication and adaptability that I have transferred to the field and my position of offensive lineman,” he said.

The Go Bowling Military Bowl is proud to announce the members of the fourth annual STEM Scholar-Athlete Program, recognizing some of the brightest minds competing on the gridiron in the ACC and the American Athletic Conference.

“The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors an amazing group of young men who truly showcase what it means to be a student-athlete,” Military Bowl Foundation President & Executive Director Steve Beck said. “We are thrilled to honor this group of talented players for their success on and off the field while continually challenging themselves in the classroom.”

The Go Bowling Military Bowl STEM Scholar-Athlete Program honors one football player at each university that is a member of the ACC and the American Athletic Conference – the two conferences that are represented in the Go Bowling Military Bowl college football game. These players are studying STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) subjects and/or aspire to STEM careers.

The two players whose teams compete in the 2024 Go Bowling Military Bowl will be recognized at the game, which takes place on Saturday, Dec. 28 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Kickoff is at 5:45 p.m. ET and the game will be televised on ESPN. Bowl tickets are on sale now. A donation will be made in the name of these two players to their respective school’s general scholarship fund.
