Penn State football tight end Tyler Warren is garnering national attention after a historic performance against USC on Saturday. Warren’s touchdown catch from Drew Allar was featured at No. 5 on SportsCenter’s Top 10.

After some pre-snap motion, Warren was lined up as the center with Beau Pribula ready to take the snap. Pribula turned and threw the ball to Allar, who found Warren as he was streaking down the middle of the field for the score.

The tight end racked up 224 yards on 17 catches in the Nittany Lions’ 33-30 win over the Trojans and continued to showcase his versatility by acting as a running back, quarterback, receiver, and center.

After the game, James Franklin said he not only thinks Warren is the best tight end in the country, but one of the best players in college football.
