[LandoComando]

Well, he is out of eligiblity, so it'd be really odd if was not entering the draft

The article claims he has a year of eligibility which...I feel like everyone has unlimited years at this point

He had the extra Covid year available.

 

[PSU Soupy]

He had the extra Covid year available.

I have also decided to declare for the Draft.

Thank you for your understanding. God Bless.

No. Article is wrong.

He redshirted the covid year and then played 4 years.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Warren has no eligibility left

He was in school in 2020 and I thought everyone enrolled then has the “extra” COVID year if they want it. I don’t see how he would not have an extra year of eligibility.

(Obviously he’s going to leave regardless; he’d be foolish to stay given his draft status)

 

[LandoComando]

Warren has no eligibility left

I don't disagree--it's just odd that literally everyone is saying he left with a year of eligibility left. Maybe they are just giving everyone 5

Close but I don't think so. They don't get an extra year. They got a free year in 2020 but only 2020.

Warren redshirted in 2020 and does not get to move the free year to 2025. If warren played in 2020 he would have got an extra year. Warren played his four + his redshirt. The redshirt year was the free year. He is now done.

I thought that everyone who played in 2020 got an extra "bonus" year that they can use if they want. That's why you see a number of players who have have 5 full years of performance - and sometimes 5 + a redshirt year. I don't think it even matters whether you played or redshirted or never saw the field in 2020, just being enrolled that year gives everyone an extra year of NCAA eligibility they can use.

As an example from another sport, that's why Carter Starocci is able to play this year - redshirted in the 2019-20 season, played (and won NCAA championships) in all of 2020-1, 2021-2, 2022-3, 2023-4 but still has an extra bonus COVID season which he is using to try to become an unprecedented 5 time NCAA champ.

I believe you're -- it definitely sounds like the consensus is he has another year--not that anyone thinks he should return

Latest mock draft has my Giants taking you in the third round. You had better produce, Soupy!

Here is Warren's stat line. He's played 4 years after COVID.

Agreed--he did
But apparently he has a year of eligibility somehow--this is how guys play 7 years lol
He even made an announcement apparently as they have quotes from him in the article
I still agree with you--he doesn't have any left but everyone says he does

Penn State TE Tyler Warren declares for 2025 NFL draft

As expected, Penn State’s top offensive player is heading to the NFL draft.

I don't think that's right.

2020 was COVID. He basically Redshirted. We can just forget about this year as if it never happened, from an eligibility perspective.
Beginning in 2021, Warren had 4 years of eligibility remaining.
He used them in 21, 22, 23, 24. He's done.

If he had Redshirted in 2021, he would have another year left, but he didn't.

Using an example from the Wrestling team, because of the Covid year. Carter Starocci is Wrestling his 5th full season as a starter, and he redshirted his true freshman year.

Sort of. Everyone who PLAYED in 2020 gets a free year. Everyone who redshirted does not get a free year. 2020 didn't count. After that the players all get 4 years to play. Warren used his 4 years.

Nope. The COVID year is a bonus and it does not count against the 4 years of eligibility. It allows players to play 4 years + COVID year + redshirt (and theoretically + medical redshirt if applicable). The extra CVOID year does not replace a year of eligibility but is in addition to them (allowing players to have the option of 5 years of playing). All you have to be was enrolled in college in spring 2020 or fall 2020 (depends on whether the sport is fall or spring or winter); it doesn't matter if you played or redshirted or never saw the field.

Again, Carter Starocci is an easy example. He Redshirted his first year then played 4 full seasons and is still playing this season for a fifth full season.

Warren could come back to play next season if he wanted. He shouldn't, but he is eligible for another season if he desired.

Here is Warren's stat line. He's played 4 years after COVID.

​

Correct. He has played 4 full seasons. He's eligible for a fifth season if he desired due to COVID

Just to clarify: Initially, the NCAA gave everyone whose sports were impacted in 2020 an extra year to play their 4 years of ball. So, that might be why some people think that you only get 4 years total.

But the NCAA later just said that anyone in school in 2020 gets an extra bonus year to play regardless of whether 2020 truly impacted them or if they had already played 4 years. This means everyone could play 5 years if desired.

To use a football example, look at Bo Nix:

Played a full season in 2019, 2020, and 2021 at Auburn
Then played a full season in 2022 and 2023 at Oregon

Five full seasons.

Or perhaps a better example, did everyone remember hearing the announcers talk repeatedly about Jack Kiser for Notre Dame and how many games he has played? Here are his season totals:

2019: 4 games (redshirt)
2020: 11 games
2021: 13 games
2022: 13 games
2023: 13 games
2024: 15 games (and counting)

Five full seasons plus a redshirt

I don't think you are reading this right. Simply remove 2020 from any calculation.

Bo Nix played 4 years (not including 2020)
Jack Kiser played 4 years (not including 2020)
Tyler Warren has played 4 years (not including 2020) If Warren had redshirted in 2021, he would have a year left, but he did not

Again, simply erase 2020 from any calculation. Everyone still gets 4 years of eligibility
