Warren finished with 190 all-purpose yards, caught eight passes and scored two touchdowns as No. 4 Penn State routed Purdue 49-10 at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday. The Nittany Lions (9-1) removed their starting offense late in the third quarter but continued scoring points with the College Football Playoff committee in mind.

“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.”

Allar made his college debut here in 2022 when Sean Clifford received treatment in the locker room for an illness. He completed his first two passes for first downs before he lobbed a strike to Warren, who dropped it in the third quarter of a 35-31 comeback win.
