See another major accomplishment from Warren earlier this year.
It was a night of broken records for
Jaylen Warren of
East (Salt Lake City).
The senior running back became the first player in Utah state history to rush for over 3,000 yards in a single season (3,099) and also set the single-season clip for the most rushing touchdowns in one year (39). It all came in a 48-20 victory over Springville that gave the Leopards to their second-consecutive Class 4A state title, according to Trevor Phibbs of the Salt Lake Tribune.
The 5-foot-9, 205-pound bulldozing back finished with 206 rushing yards and three touchdowns in the memorable outing. He is also the driving force in the Leopards being the
No. 22 team in the Xcellent 25 rankings.
Talk about putting a stamp on your high school career.
