Early life

The son of Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, Kade Warner was born on September 29, 1998, and grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona.[1] He attended Desert Mountain High School and played football, basketball, track and lacrosse.[2] In football, Warner played wide receiver and was twice named all-state, additionally being named the state's wide receiver of the year in 2016 as he broke Mark Andrews' record for career receptions with 241.[3][4] As a senior, he totaled 1,062 receiving yards off 83 catches with 14 touchdowns.[4] Despite his production, Warner did not receive a single scholarship offer to play college football.[5][6] He eventually joined the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a walk-on.[7]

College career

Warner broke his hand three days into fall practice in 2017 and redshirted for his freshman season.[7] He was a third-string for the beginning of the 2018 season, being promoted to a starting role in Week 5.[5] He started seven of the last nine games and posted 17 catches for 95 yards on the year.[5][8][9] Warner missed the first four games of 2019 due to an injury, and made a total of seven appearances in the season, starting five games while tallying eight receptions for 101 yards.[10] In 2020, he played in every game, starting four as captain but only making five catches for 40 yards.[11][12]

Warner transferred to play for the Kansas State Wildcats in 2021.[13][14] In his first season with them, he made 13 appearances and totaled 14 receptions for 166 yards.[15] Warner was team captain for his final year, 2022, and posted a career-high 46 receptions for 456 yards with five touchdowns.[16]
