Ask any student who their favorite player on the Charlotte men’s basketball squad is and there is a very high chance they will respond with the name Mitch Warner.
Warner, a six-foot-two walk-on from the Queen City is departing this season and graduating with a degree in criminal justice. Though he doesn’t rake in the rebounds like Joseph Uchebo or the points like Braxton Ogbueze, Warner does something that drives the crowd crazy: be Mitch.
“I really don’t have a major role out on the court, but I’m there to provide energy, support and encouragement wherever I can,” Warner said.
