A&T, where his father, Thomas Warren, was a first-team All-MEAC player before graduating in 1978.
Tory Warren was a Triad 3-A all-conference selection as a senior and was named Offensive MVP in Dudley's 28-20 victory over Charlotte Catholic in the 3-AA state championship game Dec. 8

Depends on how the rest of recruiting goes. We may be looking to sign 10-12 line prospects in this class.

I'm glad this kid recruited. He's pretty talented. We need to keep local recruiting pipelines strong.

Tory was being recruited by other school but he chose A&T probably because his dad played here and he was a ball boy for A&T's football team under Hayes and Small. Dudley has another kid that plays RB, I think his name is Joe Jackson. For anybody that saw Dudley play this year he wore #24. I feel this kid would be worth signing. He did not have outstanding numbers but he ran hard and made things happen. He looks to be about 5'10" 180lbs.

Speaking of recruiting........Hampton University football adds three assistant coaches and five transfers

Digg Del.icio.us Facebook Fark Google Newsvine Reddit Yahoo Print Reprints Text size: HAMPTON - Jerry Holmes added some muscle to Hampton University's football program on Wednesday with the announcement of three new assistant coaches and five transfers. Holmes was promoted from defensive coordinator to head coach on Dec. 29, when Joe Taylor left to become the coach at Florida A&M.
Holmes' new offensive line coach, Terry Beauford, formerly held that position at HU. Beauford coached HU's offensive linemen for five seasons, before spending two seasons (2005-06) as head coach at Morehouse College in Atlanta. He assisted the Pirates during spring practice last season.
"The kids know him and are excited to have him back," Holmes said. "We don't want the coaching turnover to be too drastic."
Holmes added two other coaches with ties to his alma mater: West Virginia University. Canute Curtis, a WVU grad and most recently an assistant at Tennessee State, will coach the defensive linemen. He replaces Tim Edwards, who joined Taylor's staff at FAMU. Curtis played several seasons in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Former WVU wide receiver Milo Austin will coach the Pirates' running backs. He replaces Aaron Taylor, Joe's son, who will coach FAMU's running backs.
Four of the transfers hail from the junior college ranks. The other is tailback Lamarcus Coker, who announced in December he was transferring to HU from the University of Tennessee. Coker led Southeastern Conference freshmen in rushing in 2006, but was dismissed from the team last season for failing numerous drug tests.
All five transfers will have two years of eligibility. They are listed below with Holmes' comments.
Coker, 5-foot-10, 195-pounds, tailback: "He very fast, so he'll fit right in because last year's recruiting class was one of the fastest ever."
Davion Wright, Feather River Community College, Cal., 6-6, 320, offensive linemen: "He's a hard-nosed kid who will give us the maturity we're looking for on the offensive line."
Darius Collins, Feather River CC, 6-4, 250, tight end: "He looks like a man. He'll be a pass-catching tight end who should be a game-breaker, but he will be a decent blocker."
Lawrence Ferrell, Fork Union Military Academy, 5-10, 230-pound, fullback: "I watched some tape on him and he was real impressive. He can run the ball and catch it out of the backfield."
J.R. Carter, Feather River CC, 5-10, 200, safety: "He's good. We expect him to contribute immediately. All five should contribute immediately."
