About Derrick

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I play with calm command & calculated aggression. When I step onto the field, there’s a switch that flips & I settle in, read the defense, & play fast without forcing it. I thrive in RPO systems; quick decision-making, timing, and reading leverage are key. Whether it’s pulling the ball and letting it rip or punishing a defense with my legs when they overcommit, I stay one step ahead of the play.

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m competitive, coachable, and wired to lead. I don’t need to be the loudest voice; I lead by example, bring edge to every rep, and elevate those around me with consistency and energy.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

My full focus has been on football and developing into a complete quarterback and teammate. While I’m not part of outside clubs, I’ve dedicated time to film study, off-season camps, and weight room leadership. Football is my passion, and I’ve poured everything into that craft.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I’ve learned how to lead through consistency, not just in games, but in every rep, workout, and meeting. Leadership to me isn’t just being vocal. It’s being present, dependable, and raising the standard every single day. I want the guys around me to feel my presence and know we’re never lowering the bar.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I’ve had to share reps, despite believing I can bring more to the position. Instead of getting bitter, I got better by pushing our starters every day through scout team excellence, staying locked in on film, and controlling what I can. It’s made me mentally tougher, more prepared, and hungrier than ever. It taught me how to lead without needing a title.

What type of college are you looking for?

I’m looking for a program that pushes me on the field, the classroom, & as a man. I want to be part of a football culture that values discipline, development, and accountability. My goal is to earn a college degree & use everything I learn through football & education to become someone who contributes in a real way beyond the game. I’m chasing more than just wins I’m building who I’ll be after FB.

Derrick Warren Derrick Warren Derrick Warren 6'0" | 165 lbs | QB/ATH Artesia | 2026 State NM ‘s calling card is easy: the ball comes out fast, and it comes out with some zip. He’s got a lightning quick release that can beat timing windows, and when he stays locked in on his mechanics, the whole motion looks fluid — the kind of thrower who can make things look easy when everything’s synced up. The issue is consistency, because the occasional arm drop showed up, and when that happens you’ll see the ball come out with wobble and lose some of that clean spin and placement. That’s the next step for him is to get the best version to show up consistently. Because when he’s focused and the mechanics hold together, there’s obvious upside — it’s not a question of whether the talent is there, it’s there.
