Professional

On 10 January 2018, Marie was selected 12th overall by the San Jose Earthquakes during the 2018 MLS SuperDraft.^[4] San Jose general manager Jesse Fioranelli described Marie as "an offensive-minded outside back that has technical qualities and the ability to read the game", which motivated his choice as San Jose's first draft pick.^[5] He was officially signed by the club on 16 March 2018, and immediately sent on loan to San Jose's USL affiliate Reno 1868 FC, alongside fellow SuperDraft picks Danny Musovski and Mohamed Thiaw.^[6]
