QUOTING COACH JEPSON
"Warren is an outstanding addition to our program. His floor exercise and vault are world class. He is solid on parallel bars and high bar as well. He has great competitive ability. He is a little bit older than most freshmen, so his maturity is a bonus. He has fit in with the team really, really well. I think he will develop and be strong across the board for us this year."
