Penn State snapshot profile: No. 44 Tyler Warren
Going into the 2022 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will be looking at each scholarship player listed on the Penn State roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Penn State’s tight end room is deep, and one of those players is Virginia native Tyler Warren from the class of 2020.
Warren comes in as a third-year player getting a bit of playing time from last season. He looks to likely get that third tight end role behind Theo Johnson and Brenton Strange.

Depth Chart Overview

Warren saw a few snaps in his first year. He brought in five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown.
As mentioned, it is likely that Warren is a candidate for that third tiedown spot behind Johnson (pictured, above) and Strange. As a third-year player and two guys in front of him, don’t expect a massive difference in his second year.
However, after next season, that is when things get interesting. Depending on how the 2022 season goes, we could see Johnson or Strange declare for the draft. That leaves a wide-open opportunity for the rest of the titan room to earn that spot.
