44 days until Penn State football 2021 season opener
Good morning! We are 44 days away from Penn State football!
Today, we are going to get to know one of the current underclassmen who wears the number 44. His name is Tyler Warren and he plays tight end for the Nittany Lions.
He was a true freshman last year, playing in just two games. He currently sits at the bottom of the projected depth chart for the 2021 season, listed as Penn State’s third tight end. However, all of the Nittany Lions’ current tight ends are freshman. So, we very well could see some more action from Warren this season, whether it be on offense or making a name for himself on special teams.
Warren was also a three-sport athlete coming out of high school, playing both basketball and baseball. Going into the season, Warren is currently listed at 6-foot-6 and 249 pounds.
The battle for the starting tight end position is certainly up for grabs these next few seasons. After the departure of Pat Freiermuth to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Nittany Lions have some big shoes to fill on offense.
On September 4th, 2021, Penn State will travel to Madison to take on the Badgers, who currently have a tight end in Jake Ferguson who has the potential to be drafted in the first three rounds of the 2022 draft come April.
Can the Nittany Lions find another playmaker at their tight end position and renew their identity? They certainly have three talented underclassmen to work with, including Tyler Warren.
