Within the annals of Texas A&M Football
history, no one has yet to top the legend that is defensive tackle Ty Warren,
who after four dominant seasons (1999-2003) with the Aggies, went on to be
selected 13th overall in the 2003 NFL Draft by the New
England Patriots (2003-2010).
Earlier this week, rumors were confirmed
by Football Scoops’ Zach Barnett that
Warren has taken a coaching position with FCS Stephen F. Austin under Head
coach Colby Carthel as the defensive line coach, and will also serve as the
assistant head coach for the 2023 college football season.
In seven NFL seasons with the Patriots, Warren
won Super Bowl XXXVIII and Super Bowl XXXIX in his first two seasons with the
franchise, while accumulating 374 tackles and 20.5 sacks and was named
First-Team All-Pro after the 2007 season, and is a member of the All-Decade
Team. Warren played one season with the Denver
Broncos before retiring after the 2012 season, and before
the 2010 offseason, Warren returned to Texas A&M to finish his
undergraduate degree in Agricultural Development and became the first member of
his family to graduate from college.
Warren’s coaching career began as a minority
coaching assistant for the Detroit Lions during the
2020 season, and after a brief coaching internship with the New
Orleans Saints, he was hired by the XFL’s Orlando Guardians as
the co-defensive coordinator and defensive line coach on Sept. 13th of last
year, but suddenly left the program in late March, and now we all know the
reason behind the departure.
Warren is joining a Lumberjacks program that
won a share of the WAC championship in 2022. Congratulations to Ty Warren and
his family on the promotion in what is already a very bright coaching future!
