Ed Warinner is a gritty, veteran-style linebacker with Big Ten pedigree and a blue-collar fit
Warinner, a 6-foot, 224-pound senior from Olentangy Liberty, brings a physical, special-teams-friendly linebacker profile with experience at Michigan State, Michigan, and Miami (OH), plus a background that coaches clearly trust enough to keep in the mix. His differentiators are toughness, versatility, and football IQ — the kind of steady, assignment-sound defender who can help a room by setting the tone rather than chasing headlines. He was also part of Miami’s 2022 staff as a defensive GA when the RedHawks owned the MAC’s top rushing and scoring defense, which adds some useful context to the standard stat line. If your team wants reliability, edge, and a no-drama competitor, he’s the type.
