Warner is the 148th ranked prospect nationally and No. 3 senior in Arizona as the 10th-best edge in the country.
He dominated competition his senior year, compiling 63 tackles, 20 for a loss, along with 16 sacks.
With Jalon Daniels coming back in 2024 to follow up the most successful Jayhawks' season in roughly 15 years, the future is bright in Lawrence.

Lance Leipold is building something special and Warner's commitment helps cement that. It's easy to imagine Warner flying off the edge late in Big 12 conference season, and his status will make it easier for Leipold to attract other recruits as well.
Slowly but surely, Kansas is becoming not just a basketball school.
