Jesuit Dallas Athletics

Warren Young provided a rare service as a Jesuit student, serving as an assistant was being cut from the freshman basketball team. With that auspicious event, a career began. After evaluating Warren’s basketball talent, coach Bob Wunderlick asked him to be the team trainer. Once that season was over, Warren became the team trainer for three more Jesuit basketball teams, four baseball teams, and two football teams.  

Having played right tackle for the junior varsity his sophomore and junior years, Warren, who had also worked as trainer on the varsity level his junior year, retired his football pads and dedicated everything to athletic training all Southern Methodist University home football games.  

Receiving an athletic scholarship to attend SMU as an athletic trainer, he worked for their football teams until his graduation in 2000. In addition, he acted as head trainer for men’s and women’s swim and diving teams his freshman and sophomore years and took care of the men’s basketball team his final three years at the university. The trainer representative to the prestigious SMU Student Athletic Advisory Committee, Warren applied for a summer internship with the Dallas Cowboys and was selected from a pool of 300 other college applicants, this selection leading to his working training camp and all Cowboys home games for three years until his graduation. Afterwards, Warren began working fulltime as an assistant trainer for the Cowboys while being the assistant athletic trainer at Jesuit for the past two years.  

Warren has remained active in community service since his graduation from Jesuit working with the Leukemia Foundation in Dallas, the Dallas area Big Brother and Big Sisters program, and Dallas Cowboys Community Outreach programs.  

This past winner of the Men for Others and “Big Brother of the Year” awards has two brothers, Kyle ’97 and Kevin ’99, who lettered in both football and wrestling.
