Late in the first quarter, Penn State tight end [autotag]Tyler Warren[/autotag] added a new record to his career resume. Warren’s first catch of the game, a 20-yard gain against the Maryland defense, moved Warren into first place on the Big Ten leaderboard for the most receptions in a single season by a tight end.
Wisconsin‘s Travis Beckum previously held the record with 75 receptions during the 2007 season.
Warren could be looking to add another record to his stat sheet this afternoon, at least in school history. Warren is one touchdown reception away from breaking the Penn State school record for most touchdown catches by a tight end. He came into the week tied with Pat Freiermuth with 16 career touchdown receptions.
Warren and Penn State are also playing for a spot in the Big Ten championship game after Michigan pulled a big upset of Ohio State to open the door to Indianapolis. Penn State got off to a sloppy start and dug an early hole, but Warren should continue to be a factor for the rest of the afternoon as he continues to chase and make some history.
