RECRUIT SCOOP: Iowa Colony WR Warren’s Recruitment Heating Up
Iowa Colony is one of the rising football programs, not only in Houston, but Texas high school football. The Pioneers have some of the top prospects in the state.
One of those top prospects is 2026 four-star wide receiver Jayden Warren.
I caught up with Warren about his recruitment as of late... what schools are standing out and his upcoming senior season?

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.
