Tight end Tyler Warren has become the favorite of Penn State quarterback Drew Allar.

The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior has recorded at least six receptions in six of his last seven games, putting him in the conversation as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Warren and Allar will face a tough test in Saturday’s Big Ten championship game at the top-seeded Oregon Ducks, but the latter will need a reliable pass-catcher in an exciting matchup.

The Ducks are allowing just 5.8 yards per attempt, which is eighth-best in the country, so it’s probably foolish to expect a big day through the air.

However, Allar has to throw the ball to someone.

The oddsmakers appear to be pricing in Oregon’s strong pass defense, putting Warren’s receptions over/under at 5.5.

Oregon enters this matchup as a slight favorite against the third-place Nittany Lions.

Oregon vs Penn State odds

As mentioned, he has exceeded that number in all but one of his last seven games, albeit against some of the best pass defenses in the country.

Against Washington, which has allowed fewer passing yards than Oregon this season, Warren had eight catches in a 35-6 home win.

Betting on college football?

He had seven throws against Wisconsin, which ranks in the top 15 in passing yards allowed.

Warren had eight catches against Minnesota, which is right behind Wisconsin.

While the Nittany Lions probably won’t explode offensively on Saturday, Warren should have another solid game.
