James Franklin vouches for Tyler Warren Heisman consideration: Does he have a chance?
The tight end has hauled in 67 receptions for 808 yards this season.
With 6:37 remaining until halftime in West Lafayette, Indiana, it was time for the Nittany Lions to dive into a bag of tricks that involved their most consistent, most valuable offensive asset of the season, tight end Tyler Warren.
Warren took the direct snap, immediately fired to the right side of the field to quarterback Drew Allar, and Allar threw it back to a mobile Warren who caught the ball and rushed downfield from the line of scrimmage, 48-yard line to the ten yard line for a 38 yard gain on the double pass.
Nick Singleton, a Governor Mifflin grad, followed it up with a ten yard touchdown run and Ryan Barker knocked in an extra point to put PSU up by 18 going into halftime.
It wasn’t a 48-yard touchdown, and it doesn’t fall into the “Heisman Moment” category, but it’s revealing of how consistent Tyler Warren has been for the Nittany Lions this season, leading the team in receiving with 808 yards, a 355-yard gap between him and Harrison Wallace III, who takes second in total receiving yards.
