Warren, who played in 17 games over five years for the Wolverines, was assumed to be coach Tavita Pritchard\u2019s choice at the position when he transferred to The Farm months ago. Pritchard has often praised Warren\u2019s competitiveness, accuracy and leadership, the three most important traits for a quarterback, according to the first-year coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s shown his leadership from the day he got here,\u201d Pritchard said. \u201cHe\u2019s fit not just into our locker room, but in a locker room that\u2019s pretty tight-knit, he has immediately become a member of that locker room that is respected and one that I know our guys look to.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Warren takes his first snap against Hawaii, it will mark just his 10th start during his six-year career, and first since 2024. In nine starts that season, Warren completed 64.1 percent of his passes for 1,199 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions.<\/p>\n

Freshman quarterback Michael Mitchell from Archbishop Riordan High in San Francisco was among the five players competing for Stanford\u2019s starting role. Other quarterbacks in the running include senior Dylan Rizk, fifth-year senior Charlie Mirer and freshman Devin Mignery of Cardinal Mooney High in Sarasota, Fla.<\/p>\n
