Jets Sign FB Warren

The New York Jets announced Friday that they have signed rookie free agent fullback Micheal Warren. The announcement was made by Jets’ General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Warren, a 6-1, 249-pound native of Linden, N.C. began his collegiate career at North Carolina State University before transferring to NCAA Division I-AA Elon College in Elon, N.C. In his two seasons as a member of the Phoenix’s squad, Warren manned a linebacker spot and will attempt the conversion to fullback on the professional level.

The product of Pine Forest High School in Fayetteville, N.C. red-shirted as a freshman at NCSU in 2000 before playing sparingly for the Wolfpack in 2001 as a linebacker. He then transferred to Elon and earned All-Big South Conference first-team honors after playing in all 11 games in 2002, collecting 82 tackles, a team-high 14 tackles for -43 yards, two passes defensed and a sack.

 

In his final season on the collegiate level, Warren played all 12 games and had 81 tackles, the second-most on the team, and added seven tackles for losses of 25 yards, two passes defensed, a sack, and an interception returned 10-yards for the game-winning score (at Hofstra).
