Prior to committing to Temple, Warner received offers from Colorado State, UConn and Marshall, among other FBS programs. The 6-foot, 190-pound quarterback graduated from Brophy Prep in Phoenix.Warner’s strong debut impressed first-year head coach Stan Drayton, who spoke to reporters about Warner’s performance after last week’s game.
“Both of those intangibles there for E.J. have stood out for a while now,” Drayton said about Warner’s accuracy and poise. “He is no secret to us as a football family. What E.J. represents, quite honestly, when we sit there and talk about an opportunity to help the team win by just doing your job. Taking your time, putting an investment into your playbook, your game plan, your teammates.
“At any given point and time, your number can be called,” Drayton added. “And all of those guys have to be ready. So it is a competitive environment that he thrived in.” Warner could face a tougher challenge against Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights gave up seven points and 145 total yards against Wagner in their last game.
