Travis Hunter Faces New Heisman Threat as Adam Breneman Backs James Franklin’s Ace for a Ticket to NYC

Heisman frenzy is in full swing! College football fans have been split over their quirk, surrounding the Heisman contention on one hand and the last stretch of a national championship race on the other. With Travis Hunter sitting in the driver’s seat, followed by Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel, it is hard to even imagine any other talent sliding into the list. But no matter how loyal you are to the iconic Colorado two-way star or the Miami Hurricanes poster boy, there’s still room to expand your horizon. Have you ever heard the name of Tyler Warren? Right, the guy that had a quintessential run for Penn State in their narrow victory over Minnesota. He gave up on his call to be the top scorer of the nation for the collective shake at the Beaver stadium, but that doesn’t mean he should give up on the farthest hope to get a seat at the NYC Heisman ceremony. The rising number of votes made it a discussion worth reading.

Well, if you judge Tyler’s odds based on the average offensive performance, you would land at the wrong point. Penn State’s swinging offense in the season is not up for debate, but you can’t rule out their lone bright star. Warren didn’t just clinch the top spot in receiving yards with a whopping 808 but also established himself as a top seven TE for Penn State receiving yardage leaders. He also steered five receiving TDs for the team. Don’t just get flooded by this stat. He has much more under his belt. He’s at No.5, racking up 157 rushing yards, and No. 2, mounting four rushing touchdowns.

All these awe-inspiring stats and numbers made Adam Breneman spit a fact to the Heisman committee. The veteran player noted, ”Tyler Warren is a generational talent. He’s one of the most impactful players in the country regardless of position, regardless of quarterback, like he’s making as much of an impact as anyone in the country. The thing about Tyler Warren, the entire Penn State offense revolves around Warren. Not just him with the ball in his hand, he’s blocking, he’s blocking the line of scrimmage, he’s the lead blocker on sweeps, he’s pulling around the edge.”

”He’s used as quarterback, he’s used as Running Back, Wing Back, H back, wide receiver, and Tight End. He does so much for their offense, and even when he doesn’t have the ball, he’s used as a decoy. Penn State is a top-four team in the country right now and will host the first-round playoff game, which tells us and solidifies the fact that, in my belief, Tyler Warren has to be in the Heisman conversation. Last time I checked, the definition of the Heisman trophy was the most outstanding football player, and boy, there’s not a better person that defines that than Tyler Warren does for Penn State,’‘ the former tight end made a strong case for Tyler’s Heisman potential.

But to the naysayers, Adam is not alone. Coach James Franklin also raised his voice about the argument. Much to your surprise, Minnesota HC P.J. Fleck has also batted for letting the kid in the thick of Heisman’s candidacy. ”I still don’t know why people don’t talk about him for the Heisman Trophy,” said the Gophers’ coach.

It’s quite understandable that he might not win the trophy as a TE doesn’t sound cool in the mix, an invitation to New York City would set the Heisman house on fire. The kid absolutely deserves this, if not more. But no matter what, Tyler Warren can never beat his own drums.

Tyler Warren doesn’t want any recognition all for himself

Coach Franklin was not at all exaggerating when he dubbed Tyler as a great human being beyond his professional excellence. The young Nittany Lions sensation is so humble and genuine that nobody ever hears him talking about his feat in an interview. If he does any wonders on the field, you find him with the same gentle demeanor outside the field just the next moment. No matter if it’s an epic 48-yard run into the end zone or a quick dive over the defensive linemen for a touchdown, he strictly doesn’t brag.

If any media personnel get him on that point by chance, he shifts the focus to his team, talking highly about the tight ends coach Ty Howle and other players who help him out there on the gridiron.

After leading his team from the frontline to a high-flying victory against Purdue, the Tight End said it is really not just to point fingers at one person when the entire team puts on a fiery performance. He said taking the spotlight is not on his agenda; winning for the team is.

The epitome of selflessness! The ideal sportsman’ rendition! Tell us if you know any better adjective to describe the man’s on and off-field supremacy; we will wait.
