Tyler Warren Earns Heisman Support from Penn State’s James Franklin
STATE COLLEGE — Penn State head coach James Franklin is leading the charge for tight end Tyler Warren’s inclusion in the Heisman Trophy conversation after the Nittany Lions secured their spot in the Big Ten Championship game. Following a dominant 44-7 victory over Maryland, Franklin praised Warren for his impressive performance, which included 100 total scrimmage yards—68 receiving and 32 rushing—along with a touchdown.
Warren’s stellar statistics not only contributed to the team’s success but also resulted in him breaking multiple Big Ten and Penn State records. His consistent excellence throughout the season has positioned him as one of the premier players in college football. He has been recognized as a finalist for both the Mackey Award, honoring the nation’s best tight end, and the Paul Hornung Award for the most versatile player.
Franklin expressed confidence that Warren should receive accolades this season, advocating for his invitation to New York for the prestigious Heisman Trophy ceremony. "They ought to bring the Mackey Award tonight. Put it on a private jet, fly it to Tyler Warren and give it to him on Sunday. And then he should get an invitation to New York,” Franklin stated. He highlighted Warren’s week-to-week performance, emphasizing his ability to deliver when under scrutiny as the focal point of opposing defenses.
With Franklin’s full support and Warren’s remarkable achievements, the momentum is building for the tight end as he aims for recognition among college football’s elite this season.
