Congratulations are in order for Tyler Warren, who has just been named Penn State’s male recipient of the Big Ten Medal of Honor — one of the most prestigious awards in college athletics.
The award, which dates back to 1915, is given annually to one male and one female student-athlete from each Big Ten school who demonstrates excellence not only in athletics, but also in academics and leadership. And for anyone who’s followed Warren’s journey, this honor feels like the perfect capstone to a standout college career.
Warren, a tight end for the Nittany Lions football team, has been a rock for Penn State both on and off the field. Known for his consistency, work ethic, and team-first mentality, he contributed in major moments during his time in Happy Valley — whether it was hauling in key red-zone touchdowns or stepping up as a leader in the locker room. But his impact goes far beyond the gridiron.
Off the field, Warren has been just as impressive — maintaining academic excellence while mentoring teammates and engaging in community outreach. The Big Ten Medal of Honor recognizes the full scope of what it means to be a student-athlete, and Warren embodies that balance to a tee.
🗣 Penn State fans — what’s your favorite Tyler Warren moment in blue and white? And how do you think this sets the tone for the next generation of Nittany Lions?
