Early life and high school
Warren was born January 9, 2002, the son of Jeff and Terri Warren. He attended Peddie School in New Jersey, as well as Suffield Academy, but due to COVID-19 rules he never played any games at Suffield.
During Warren's junior season of high school he was diagnosed with leukemia.[1][2] He appeared in four games as a junior, completing 32-of-49 passes for 607 yards, with six touchdowns and one interception. Warren went through five months of therapy in Los Angeles and eventually recovered.[3] He reclassified to the class of 2021, and was a preferred walk-on for the Michigan Wolverines.[4][5]
College career
In the 2021 season, Warren did not appear in any games but was named the Michigan Scout Team Player of the Year.[6] During the 2022 season, Warren completed 5 of 9 pass attempts for 89 yards, while also rushing three times for 30 yards.[7] After the 2022 season Warren was placed on scholarship by the Wolverines.[8] In the 2023 season, Warren attempted five passes with no completions and one interception. Warren won a national championship with Michigan in 2023.[9][10]
Heading into the 2024 season, Warren competed for the starting quarterback job with Alex Orji and Jack Tuttle.[11][12] In Michigan's 2024 Spring Game, Warren was named a starting quarterback for Michigan’s split squad match-up, opposite Alex Orji. He made a push for the starting quarterback position, completing six of nine pass attempts for 142 yards and two touchdowns, as he helped his Maize team beat the Blue team.[13][14]
