Both kids play like they love the game. Warren is a great tackler and ball hawk too. Like the "Barb" addition as well. 2017 Official Verbal Thread - NIU32 - 04-25-2016 10:07 PM Bob NarangContact Reporter Dexter Warren has already learned the value of being a good concealer. The Phillips junior safety gave a verbal commitment to Northern Illinois football, and head coach Rod Carey, following Saturday's spring game. But the 6-foot, 175-pound Warren, a two-star recruit, didn't publicly reveal his commitment until Monday afternoon via Twitter. Warren said he selected Northern Illinois over offers from Ball State and Central Michigan. The Huskies are coming off an 8-6 season and played in their program-record eighth straight bowl game. "I sat down with Coach Carey and just told him I would like to commit to NIU on Saturday," Warren said. "I liked everything about NIU. It's close to home, so all my family can see my games and watch me play. I liked how they run their defense and their coaches. I liked the others schools and visited them, but not as much as NIU." Warren, a transfer from St. Rita, made an immediate impact for Phillips this season. He started at safety, and tallied one tackle and an interception in Phillips' 51-7 victory over Belleville Althoff in the Class 3A state championship game. The Wildcats finished the season with a 14-0 record, and became the first Chicago Public League team to win a state title. "Dexter has a huge upside," Phillips coach Troy McAllister said. "He's tall and can run and has great hips. He had a great state playoff run and got some great film. He really liked the family atmosphere at NIU." Phillips good for football; football good for Wildcats Phillips good for football; football good for Wildcats Warren became the second Phillips player from the Class of 2017 to commit to a college. Defensive tackle Chris Elmore pledged a commitment to Western Michigan earlier this spring. "I'm so excited to play (at NIU) next year and also to help us win back-to-back state championships at Phillips," Warren said. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/highschool/ct-prep-fb-0426-phillips-warren-niu-coomit-story.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: 2017 Official Verbal Thread - huskie1stdown - 04-26-2016 12:12 AM When do we start the thread - Who do you think will bail on their verbal to NIU?
