Hula Bowl Spotlight Interview: Warren Saba, S, East Carolina University | Presented by Training Mask

What are you hoping to show scouts at the 2022 Hula Bowl?

I want to show the scouts that I am a smart player that can compete at a high level at multiple spots against good competition.

If you could donate to one cause in the world, what would it be?

I would donate to an organization like “Children International” because their goal is to help children in poverty. I have never lived in poverty but I know how it feels to see or get something you have always dreamed of or wished was true and how it can impact someone and change a life. That’s what I want to do, if I get the chance I would like to help someone live past where they’re now so they can live out a dream.

What is the best advice you have ever received?

The best advice that I have ever received was to stay true to myself and what I believe no matter what I’m doing.

What is your favorite song to listen to before kickoff?

I wouldn’t say I have a favorite song but I do have 3 artists I listen to every gameday day. The 3 artists are Babyface Ray, EST Gee, and Future.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

I would be a wolf. A wolf is relentless, strong, and smart as an individual but it excels when it hunts in a pack. I can get things done on my own but without the people around me, I wouldn’t be as successful as I would be without them.

Overcoming adversity is what defines character, what was the hardest moment in your life to overcome?

A moment of adversity that I had to overcome was to become an NCAA qualifier and graduate high school, I didn’t become an NCAA qualifier but I did have a chance to go to JUCO which was an opportunity to grow as I went through challenging obstacles to get on of Garden City Community College.

If you could compare your play to one player in the NFL who would it be?

Tyrann Mathieu, he instinctive, smart, versatile, and is always around the ball.

Did you have a favorite player or team in the NFL when you were growing up?

My favorite team is the Cleveland Browns since I have grown up in Cleveland my whole life. I have multiple friends that are currently playing in the NFL so I really don’t have a favorite player but if I was to name some guys I love watching, it would be Minkah Fitzpatrick and Tyrann Mathieu

If you could have dinner with three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Jay Z, Martin Luther King Jr., and Lebron James. I chose these three people because of the simple fact that there are wise and have all been through a tremendous amount of adversity and found a way to do their job to become successful. They are men who have done what it took to either make change, become an inspiration, be a leader and be the best at what they do.
