The Impact of NC State's Latest Transfer Addition

Warren visited Raleigh over the weekend and ended up settling on NC State as the proper place for a jump to the FBS level after three seasons at Alcorn State. With the Braves, he racked up 37 catches for 715 yards and six touchdowns in his three years. While those numbers might not seem substantial, Alcorn State's offense was never heavy in terms of passing the football while Warren was a member of the team.

In his senior season, he caught 24 passes for 442 yards and four of his six career scores. He saved his best performance for his very last game in a Braves uniform, catching seven passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns, although the Braves ultimately fell to rival Jackson State. There is a level of explosiveness in the veteran wideout that NC State hasn't had in a few seasons.

Warren showed true burner speed and reportedly ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at one point. The Wolfpack had some speed between Noah Rogers, Wesley Grimes and Terrell Anderson during the 2025 season, but not to the level that the Alcorn State receiver showed over the last two seasons with the Braves. He will instantly be a vertical downfield threat for Bailey that the quarterback lacked in his first two years throwing passes at NC State.

The Alcorn State transfer joins a receiver room that includes Teddy Hoffmann, Keenan Jackson and incoming transfers Victor Snow and Chance Robinson. He became the 10th overall transfer to join NC State. The Wolfpack's retooled offense should be an exciting group by the time the 2026 season comes around, with Bailey as the center of the action.
