DJ Warnell gives Nevada a versatile, veteran defensive back with proven disruption
In the 2025 season, DJ Warnell brought veteran size and flexibility to Nevada’s secondary at 6-2, 208, with experience across multiple Power Five stops before landing in Reno. His appeal is less flashy than splashy: he’s a mature, physical DB who can help in coverage, run support, and communication, and his background suggests real adaptability in different systems. For a team, he’s the kind of experienced, steady defender who can raise the floor of a back end fast.
