Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State CB Tyler Armstead with his player profile
Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Walk-on cornerback Tyler Armstead saw no action while redshirting in 2024, though he was named the Developmental Squad Defensive Player of the Week a whopping five times, meaning the staff has observed significant development. Nicknamed 'stringbean' for his small stature, Armstead will likely look to add more weight as he enters his second college season.
