The 6-6, 261-pound Warren averaged 17.3 yards every time he touched the ball as Penn State (6-1 Big Ten, 9-1) moved another step closer to a College Football Playoff berth with its 11th consecutive victory over the Boilermakers (0-7, 1-9).

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 ...

“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.”

Drew Allar threw for 247 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 4 Penn State to a 49-10 rout of Purdue on Saturday. Allar, who completed his first 10 passes, connected on 17 of 19 passes for the Nittany Lions (9-1,
