Ja'Warren Hooker (born September 24, 1978) is a track and field sprinter and former University of Washington football player. Hooker is one of seven children and has not seen his biological father since he was little.
Hooker's step father is a chemist for the Washington State Agriculture Department.
He played halfback for Ellensburg High School ending his four-year career when he was violently hit by Sunnysides Defensive Tackle Anthony Smith.
He ended with 57 touchdowns and 5,100 yards.
Hooker went from there to play football at the University of Washington.
Hooker also played basketball for his high school, where he shot 40% from 3 point range. When Hooker decided to go to the University of Washington, he was escorted around by the girls soccer star Marisa Lyons.
He developed a relationship with her, and on July 7, a night where he had just been discussing the future with her, she died in his arms of cardiac arrhythmia.
When attending her funeral Ja'Warren held her teddy bear and said "I've never been defeated in a race, but Marisa beat me to heaven, I wish it had been a tie."
