Through the first two games of the season, without a true No. 1 wide receiver, Penn State quarterback Drew Allar’s favorite target has been his veteran tight end, Tyler Warren. Warren came into No. 10 Penn State’s Week 4 matchup against Kent State at Beaver Stadium with 11 catches for 176 yards and a touchdown, but his first half against the Golden Flashes was even more impressive.

Warren caught the first touchdown of the game, a 16-yard strike from Allar, which came after Warren took a snap as Penn State’s wildcat quarterback and ran for 16 yards. As a receiver, the senior tight end posted five grabs for 50 yards and one touchdown, and as a passer, the former high school quarterback is 1/1 for 17 yards and a score. Warren’s second snap as wildcat QB resulted in the lefty’s first collegiate touchdown throw.

Still, Warren’s most impressive play was made with his right hand, a ridiculous one-handed catch.
This catch was INSANE!!! 🤯

Needless to say, Penn State fans were impressed by the team’s most impressive offensive player in the first half of Week 4.
People forget Tyler Warren was a QB in high school. What can’t this guy do

Many took to social media to share their excitement. Warren’s efforts along with a touchdown grab from wide receiver Liam Clifford have helped the Nittany Lions build a 28-0 lead over the Golden Flashes. His brother and Warren’s former quarterback was impressed too.
Tyler Warren for Heisman

Fans are ready to hand over some serious hardware for the 6-foot-7 257-pound tight end who could be a top NFL draft prospect after this season.
I’ve seen enough just give Tyler Warren the Heisman already!

Tyler Warren might be having the best game of his career in Week 4 against Kent State and it’s far from over.
