Tyler Warren has broken Penn State Football’s record for most career touchdowns by a tight end. Warren’s 17 career touchdowns passed Pat Freiermuth’s 16 touchdowns and Mike Gesicki’s 15 scores. Both Freiermuth and Gesicki are in the NFL and have been regarded as two of the best tight ends ever to play for

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.

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.
