Mike Warren’s high school football coach didn’t watch him rush for 125 yards against Toledo. Randy Breeze didn’t need to. He’d already seen Warren do it before.
Warren, then a Lawton High School (Okla.) senior, carved up Edmond Sante Fe for 358 rushing yards and five touchdowns in 2013.
“The next morning at 8 o’clock, we come in to break down the film, and we got every college in the country calling,” the Lawton football coach said.
