Former Texas A&M standout Ty Warren has been appointed as the new defensive line coach for the Mississippi State Bulldogs, a decision announced on Sunday night. This hiring marks Warren’s return to the Southeastern Conference (SEC) coaching landscape, where he aims to enhance the defensive front of Mississippi State.
Warren, a Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion, brings a wealth of experience both as a player and a coach. His coaching career began with the Detroit Lions, where he served as an assistant from 2019 to 2020. Following his time in the NFL, he transitioned to spring football, leading defensive lines for the Houston Gamblers in 2022 and the Orlando Guardians in 2023.
His most notable contributions came during his tenure at Stephen F. Austin, where he played a pivotal role in transforming the Lumberjacks’ scoring defense. Under his guidance, the team improved from ranking 98th nationally to an impressive sixth place over two seasons. Additionally, Warren was instrumental in securing back-to-back top-10 recruiting classes in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
Warren’s reputation for toughness, technique, and relationship-driven development positions him well to make a significant impact at Mississippi State. He expressed his enthusiasm about the opportunity, stating, “I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to join Mississippi State and be part of what Coach Lebby is building. This is a place with great tradition, passionate fans and a standard of toughness and effort that fits who I am as a coach. I’m excited to get to work developing our players, building relationships and helping this program compete at the highest level.”
This hiring could be a strategic move for Mississippi State, as Warren will be working with one of the most talented defensive line groups of his early coaching career. His blend of elite playing experience and a promising coaching background suggests potential for significant growth within the program.
As the Bulldogs prepare for the upcoming season, Warren’s addition is expected to resonate well with both players and fans alike, contributing to their aspirations in the highly competitive SEC. The official announcement regarding Warren’s hiring was made via Mississippi State’s social media channels.
