Ryan Maric grew up in the West Gippsland town of Drouin, When he was 15 he had a growth spurt where he gained 30cm in height. The growth spurt caused some back issues and then a dose of glandular fever, he became overweight[1] and then worked hard to get to his current playing weight[2][3] During 2023 he played with four different teams this year Gippsland Power, Victoria Country, Young Guns and Box Hill Hawks. His two games at Box Hill yielded 4 goals.

Maric was the first player picked in the 2023 mid-season draft,[4] He received an eighteen-month contract with the Eagles.[5] Maric played one game in the WAFL before getting called up to make his debut against Adelaide in Adelaide.[6] Maric is one of the few footballers to kick a goal with his first kick in league football.
