THE PIONEER: Iowa Colony Soph. QB Becomes Face of Program, Next Big Signal-Caller in Houston
After bursting onto the scene as a freshman, Iowa Colony quarterback Carson White looked to be the next big-time quarterback in Houston.
Now with double-digit offers after a big sophomore year, the Pioneer QB is becoming a hot commodity in the recruiting ranks.
“I feel like I grew a lot this year as a leader,” White said. “As a freshman, I remember walking into the locker room thinking this is big, but now it’s just routine and I feel more mature as a quarterback.”
Carson White had 1,871 passing yards with 30 passing touchdowns, earning him a District Offensive MVP selection. His play on the field helped the talented signal-caller pick up 13 offers from Auburn, Nebraska, K-State, Houston and SMU, to name a few.
“First off, I just want to give thanks to God because, without him, none of this would be possible,” he said. “The recruiting process has been good for me so far. There's a lot of things coming my way, and with my coaches and parents around me supporting me it’s been great.”
White also mentioned that schools like Oregon and Texas A&M have reached out as of late, and he’s looking forward to getting to know the staff at both schools.
“As of right now, Baylor and SMU have been standing out. SMU QB coach D’eriq King is someone I’ve known since I was a baby, he’s like my brother. Baylor is like a family every time I go over there. Those two are definitely in my top right now.”
With quarterbacks as a huge priority for every college program, White is going to have his pick of top programs across the country. Stay tuned.

As a junior this past fall, Warren tallied 26 receptions for 613 yards and 14 touchdowns.
The talented wide receiver also had a big performance at the Navy National Combine, which has helped boost his recruitment picking up four offers this month from Stanford, Kansas State, Illinois and Texas A&M.
“The recruiting process is going great,” he said. “Many schools are looking at my film, showing interest and I’m just grateful to have the opportunity to show off my talent to coaches.”
Now at 14 offers from Division 1 programs across the country, many other have started to show interest including Arizona, Colorado, Mizzou, LSU and Notre Dame.
When asked about what schools stand out to him in his recruitment so far, Warren mentioned Oklahoma, SMU, Wisconsin, Kansas, Kansas State, Houston, and Texas A&M.
Warren also mentioned he is working on what schools he plans on taking official visits to this offseason but now he’s focused on getting ready for his senior year.
“I want to work on my consistency and become more of route-runner as well,” Warren said.
The 2026 wide receiver will be one to keep an eye on this offseason with a commitment expected before his senior year.
