Tight end Tyler Warren has developed into a favorite of Penn State quarterback Drew Aller.
The 6-foot-6, 250-pound senior has made at least six receptions in six of his last seven games and is being talked about as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Warren and Aller will have a tough test Saturday in the Big Ten Championship Game against the top-ranked Oregon Ducks, but the latter will need a reliable pass catcher in what should be a thrilling matchup.
The Ducks are allowing just 5.8 yards per attempt, which ranks eighth in the nation, so it would probably be foolish to expect a great day.
However, Allah will have to throw the ball to someone.
Oddsmakers are apparently factoring in Oregon's solid pass defense, giving Warren a receiving over/under of 5.5.
Oregon State enters this matchup as a slight favorite against the No. 3 Nittany Lions.

As mentioned above, he has exceeded that number in all but one of his last seven games, and that's against the best pass defense in the country.
Warren had eight catches in a 35-6 home win against Washington, which has allowed even fewer passing yards than Oregon this season.
