Albany safety with hometown roots and a grinder’s résumé
David Warnken was a depth-chart safety for Albany, and the available public record suggests his value was more about reliability, special-teams readiness, and program fit than headline-grabbing production. In the 2016 Albany roster bio, he’s listed as a Ravena, N.Y. product who earned three varsity letters in high school and helped his team to a 20-7 record and a 2013 Colonial Council Reinfurt Division title, which points to a disciplined, team-first profile. If you’re looking for a low-drama defensive back with local ties and developmental upside, he’s the kind of player coaches usually appreciate.
