Warren, one of the best players in JSU's basketball history, played four seasons for the Gamecocks and became just the 12th player in JSU history to score 1,000-or more points.

The Oneonta, Ala., native finished his brilliant four-year career with 1,156 points, adding 461 assists and 226 steals. He led the Gamecocks to an impressive 93-28 recording during his career and helped Jax State advance to the NCAA Division II playoffs three times.

During his sophomore season in 1983, he helped JSU to the GSC Tournament Championship and to the Elite Eight after winning the Regional title. As a junior, he averaged 14.5 points and shot 55.9 percent from the floor to help JSU to a 23-8 record and into the NCAA Division II Regional finals.

As a senior, he made the key steal with just seconds remaining, then calmly sank two free throws to give the Gamecocks a one-point win over South Dakota State and the NCAA Division II National Championship. He averaged 13.9 points and helped JSU post a perfect 16-0 record in league play, the first team to go undefeated in GSC history.
