South O’Brien benefitted from production on both sides of the ball with Warnke on the field in 2025. The junior led the team in rushing and added nine receptions for 91 yards. On defense, he tallied 25.0 tackles, five of which were solo stops. Warnke recorded 5.0 tackles for loss and recovered a fumble. His 11th-grade highlights on his Hudl page confirm his versatility as a player. Speed and quickness stand out as strength for Warnke. He’s elusive with the ball in his hands, making people miss in space and turning on the jets to run away from them. Especially effective on pitches and tosses, where he can diagnose the defense and find running lanes. Warnke’s cuts are sharp and he gets downhill in a hurry. His talents also play well on defense, where defensive back could be a positional path on the next level. He’d be a special teams’ asset no matter where he lines up on offense or defense.
