Grapevine DE holding two offers

The state of Texas is home every year to loads of talented defensive end prospects. Every year it seems that programs from Arizona to Florida get a defensive end out of the Lone Star State. With that amount of talent naturally there are some prospects that get overlooked through the evaluation periods.

Grapevine, Texas defensive end Darius Warner is somewhere in the middle. So far in the recruiting process Warner has picked up two scholarship offers and is hearing from a few other big time programs.

“Everything is going real well actually,” said the 6-foot-3, 260-pound Warner. “So far tonight I have talked to coaches from Texas Tech, SMU, Kansas and Missouri. Out of those schools Tech and SMU have offered.”

Warner admits that he gets about 15-20 letters a week and says that the other schools that are recruiting him have told him their intent to offer once they get his senior film.

“All of the other schools say that they will offer me but that they just have to see some of my senior season first,” said Warner. “Missouri, Kansas and Kansas State have all said that so far.”

One of the main problems for Warner, even though it is still early, is he has yet to take his SAT or ACT test yet so he cannot set up any visits.

“I plan on taking the SAT on Oct. 2,” he said. “My GPA is around a 3.0 so I should do well enough if I work hard at it. The main thing I want out of all of this is a good education. I want to major in either business or physiology. I want to be a coach.”

According to Warner, Missouri, Kansas and Texas Tech are recruiting him the hardest and sending him the most mail.
