The Seminoles went from the ACC board room to the mailroom in a short time, with back-to-back losing seasons and multiple coaching changes during that stretch.
For Warner and fellow senior linebacker Emmett Rice, the direction under new coach Mike Norvell and his staff — the third coaching staff since their arrival — can only trend upward.
“We’ve bought in and we believe in this staff and they have faith in us,” added Warner, whose 16 career starts are the most among the linebacker group.
Warner, along with Rice and sophomore Amari Gainer, gives the Seminoles experience at a position that hasn’t been outstanding for the Seminoles in more than a decade.
