Scouting report: Texas enjoys running a three-man front and that requires big, athletic defensive linemen who can take on double teams and create havoc in the backfield. It’s not an easy position to play for young guys and the Longhorns like the tweener defensive ends who might not be the prototypical edge rusher or big enough to play defensive tackle. Fellow commit T’Vondre Sweat is a similar body type and player. Warren is a wrecking ball off the edge and a bully at the point of attack.
The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder is the No. 44-ranked strong-side defensive end in the class and a top-25 prospect out of the state of Louisiana. Warren is raw and relies on his natural strength and athleticism. A redshirt season at Texas would allow him to shape his body and learn the finer techniques of playing defensive end at the college level. His motor is excellent for his size and he’s the type of physical presence Texas wants up front.
It’s hard to ask young defensive ends to compete for snaps as true freshman. Being blocked by grown men is much different than by fellow teenagers and it usually takes players a year or two to adjust to the physicality. The new four-game redshirt rule means prospects like Warren can improve as the season evolves and compete for snaps late in the year. Texas does lose all three starters up front and Warren will get his chance to prove worthy of game action.
