JUCO EDGE Josh Warren Jr. commits to NC State

After visiting NC State for its 42-19 rivalry win over North Carolina this past Saturday, Milledgeville (Ga.) Georgia Military College EDGE Josh Warren Jr. committed to the Wolfpack.

Warren, who was originally committed to The Citadel out of high school, chose NC State over West Virginia, where he took an official visit last weekend. He is expected to be an early enrollee this January with three years of eligibility remaining. 

NC State defensive line coaches Charley Wiles and Elisha Shaw took the lead with his recruitment as the Wolfpack closed on earning his services ahead of the early signing period next week. Warren joins former NC State offensive tackle Anthony Belton, who was a second-round pick by the Green Bay Packers last spring, as the Pack’s most-recent commitments from Georgia Military College products.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound pass rusher posted 22 total tackles, including 10 for a loss, with nine sacks, a forced fumble and pass breakup this fall as a freshman. Warren posted a trio of two-sack games, while he boasts a 4.5 40-yard dash time.

Before enrolling in the junior college ranks, Warren posted 30 total tackles, including five for a loss, with two sacks at Riverview (Fla.) Sumner High.
