Warren Smith (quarterback)

Warren Smith (born February 20, 1990) is an American former professional football quarterback. He is currently the head football coach for Absegami High School, a position he has held since 2025. He played college football for Iona and Maine. Smith played professionally for the Dresden Monarchs of the German Football League (GFL), the Richmond Raiders and Trenton Freedom of the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL), the Spokane Shock, Tampa Bay Storm, Washington Valor, and Atlantic City Blackjacks of the Arena Football League (AFL), the Philadelphia Yellow Jackets of American Indoor Football (AIF), and the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, Jersey Flight, Jacksonville Sharks, and Albany Empire of the National Arena League (NAL).

Smith played high school football at Lacey Township High School in Lacey Township, New Jersey. He helped Lacey Township win the South Jersey Group III championship in 2006. Smith graduated in 2008.

Smith continued his football career playing for Iona College, where he was named the team's starting quarterback as a freshman in 2008. Following the 2008 season, Iona dropped football from its athletics programs, leaving the players the ability to transfer without sitting out a season. Smith decided to transfer to the University of Maine, where he won the starting quarterback position as a junior in 2010, leading the Black Bears to a 4–7 record. As a senior in 2011, he led the team to an 8–3 regular season record, helping the Black Bears qualify for the NCAA Championship Playoffs. The Black Bears won their first-round game, but lost in the second round to Georgia Southern. Smith was named second-team All-Colonial Athletic Association following the season.

In 2012, Smith signed with the Dresden Monarchs of the German Football League (GFL). Smith was the Monarchs leading passer and second leading rusher on the season. The Monarchs finished third in the northern division of the GFL with a 10–4 record and qualified for the play-offs where they were defeated by the Kiel Baltic Hurricanes in the semi-finals.

In 2013, Smith signed with the Richmond Raiders of the Professional Indoor Football League (PIFL). Smith guided the Raiders to a 7–5 record during the regular season, tying the second best record in the PIFL. Smith and the Raiders won their playoff game against the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks, but would lose PIFL Cup II to the Alabama Hammers.

In 2014, Smith signed with the expansion Trenton Freedom, also of the PIFL. Smith's impressive 46 touchdowns passing and 13 more rushing, led to him being named the 2014 PIFL MVP.

In October 2014, Smith was assigned to the Spokane Shock of the Arena Football League (AFL) for the 2015 season. Shortly after signing with the Shock, Smith, who was working as a substitute teacher at the time, acquired the Shock's video archive password from head coach Andy Olson and ended up watching every Shock 2014 regular season game during breaks in class. Smith made his first career AFL start for the Shock during their Week 7 game against the Los Angeles KISS, completing 23 of 29 attempts with six touchdowns in a 68–46 victory. He finished the season with 1,816 passing yards, 32 passing touchdowns, 11 interceptions and five rushing touchdowns in eight starts at quarterback.

On October 15, 2015, Smith signed with the Philadelphia Yellow Jackets of American Indoor Football. On May 24, 2016, Smith was released.
