Junior quarterback Chris Warren led Cooper High School to a 6-5 record in 2021 while helping the offense score 28.3 points per game. After racking up 1,469 passing yards, 541 rushing yards and 18 total touchdowns, this dual-threat playmaker was named second team All-District.
The 6’1”, 205-pound, field general has the ability to make plays both in the passing and running game. Warren also possesses good instincts, quickness, and footwork.
This Class of 2023 prospect is drawing interest from several colleges as he has attended numerous college camps this summer in preparation of his senior season.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Chris to talk about his preparations for his senior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
