STATE COLLEGE – Another game, another couple of records for Penn State star tight end Tyler Warren. The No. 4 Nittany Lions lead Maryland 31-7 at halftime on Saturday at Beaver Stadium.

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 Penn State.

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 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.
