24 Aug 2025 501 Football Team 2025: Colton Warren – Clinton

Clinton Yellow Jackets senior Colton Warren is a tireless worker on the field and a quiet leader off it. He and his teammates are ready to build on last year’s playoff success.

“Colton is a player that always gives 110 percent all the time,” said Head Coach Chris Dufrene.

“You never have to question his effort on the field.” He also highlighted the senior’s “quiet leadership” and “big smile, respectful attitude, and willingness to get the job done.”

Warren, a receiver and defensive back, “might never come off the field during a game.” He also contributes to special teams returning punts and kickoffs.

His football journey began in fourth grade when he made his first tackle in peewee. “That was a play that really sold the deal,” Warren said. 

This season, his major team goal is “to win as many games as possible and make it all the way to the ship.” Personally, he aims to be a leader and role model on and off the field.

“I want to make sure after every game I know I gave it my all because God gave me the ability to play football, and I don’t know when my last game could be,” Warren said. “It’s important to trust God’s process. He is going to bring you through the highs and lows.”

Off the field, he is active in a variety of school and community service activities, including packing holiday meal boxes and volunteering for food drives.
