Warren is near the end of what will likely be the most prolific career by a Penn State tight end. He has 124 receptions for 1,516 yards and 16 touchdowns in his career. He owns the school record for receiving yards by a tight end and needs six catches and one TD to hold the records in those categories.

Warren once wondered whether he was good enough to play tight end at Penn State. Now, he's a potential Heisman Trophy candidate.

Penn State football's Tyler Warren broke another record and gained even more acclaim: Listen to Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck

Tyler Warren’s first Penn State game was a loss that could’ve been avoided. It was against Indiana in 2020. With a 21-20 lead and under two minutes remaining, all the Nittany Lions needed was a first down to burn the clock.

Tyler Warren doesn't stand out in many ways. He's quiet, humble and largely unassuming. But he's re-writing Penn State record books.

At halftime of Saturday's Penn State-Purdue game, the CBS broadcast crew spent substantial time comparing Penn State's Tyler Warren with Colorado's Travis Hunter. The terms revolved around team value and versatility. The crew said Warren was at least as valuable to his team, and as versatile, as one of the Heisman Trophy frontrunners.

“100%,” quarterback Drew Allar said, asked if Warren should be in the Heisman mix. “I don’t think you’ve seen a tight end have an overall impact on an offense like he has this year. It’s a special year he’s having. I would absolutely endorse Tyler Warren for Heisman in 2024.”
