Nasir Warrick Named First Team Elite All-American
Cocoa Freshman Earns National Recognition as One of America's Brightest Young Defensive Back Prospects
Elite All-American First Team Selection
Elite All-American recognizes only eighteen First Team selections nationwide following a comprehensive evaluation of the country's premier high school football athletes.
Selection is based upon athletic ability, football IQ, competitiveness, long-term projection, positional evaluation, and overall impact.
Being named a First Team Elite All-American represents one of the highest honors awarded during the national evaluation process.
Most freshmen spend their first varsity season learning.
Nasir Warrick spent his first varsity season proving he belongs.
Although his Friday night production came at running back, Elite All-American evaluators consistently projected Warrick as one of the country's premier young defensive back prospects because of his athletic profile, instincts, competitiveness, and tremendous long-term upside.
That projection earned him First Team Elite All-American honors.
Why Elite All-American Selected Him
Elite All-American is designed to recognize not only today's elite performers but tomorrow's elite college prospects.
Warrick earned First Team recognition because evaluators consistently identified traits that project exceptionally well to the safety position.
Those traits include:
- Elite acceleration
- Natural change of direction
- Outstanding body control
- Physical play style
- Football intelligence
- Competitive toughness
While his public varsity statistics came on offense, the evaluation process consistently showed the complete athletic profile of a future impact defensive back.
Friday Night Football

Elite Projection
Elite All-American's evaluation extends beyond box scores.
Throughout the scouting process, Warrick consistently demonstrated the movement skills, range, athleticism, and football instincts evaluators look for in elite safeties.
His offensive experience also contributes to his defensive ceiling.
Running backs develop vision, anticipation, balance, and open-field instincts — traits that frequently translate into outstanding defensive backs.
Elite All-American believes Warrick possesses one of the highest developmental ceilings among young defensive players in the country.
Built for the Future
Cocoa High School has a long history of producing Division I football talent.
Warrick has already begun establishing himself within that tradition.
Surrounded by elite coaching and championship expectations, he continues developing into one of the nation's most exciting young football prospects.
His future appears exceptionally bright.
Looking Ahead
As a member of the Class of 2029, Nasir Warrick is only beginning his high school football journey.
