Penn State freshman WR wants to bring ‘pure dominance’ to the field in 2025

Penn State football is looking for someone in its wide receiver room to step into a playmaker’s role in 2025. After spending last fall waiting in the wings, redshirt freshman Tyseer Denmark feels now is his chance to seize the opportunity.

“It’s been great so far,” Denmark said Tuesday of the spring so far. “Taking what I learned last year watching the guys in front of me compete and getting after it every game, that translated a lot to my game: securing catches, always making the QB right, and playing with speed.

“With my game, I just go out there and play with pure dominance with the extra reps I’m getting, competing as hard as possible, and making sure we compete at a high level.”

Among Pennsylvania’s top recruits in 2024, the former Imhotep standout had considerable hype around his arrival last fall. Denmark maintained his redshirt after appearing in only four games, making two catches for 28 yards and a touchdown.

Now in year two, Denmark is working to refine his skillset and become a reliable target for senior quarterback Drew Allar.

“I feel as though I got to become more consistent out there on the football field,” Denmark added. “I can’t make one play and then have a bad habit or mental error. I have to go out there and be more consistent with every play and everything I do so the team feels like they can put trust and confidence in me, and there is no doubt. I have to put more effort into what I’m doing without the ball [other] than when I just get the ball.”

Denmark’s priorities are shared by James Franklin, who believes the young Nittany Lions’ potential in 2025 far exceeds his experience.

“He’s got the ability to help us this year, and we need him to help us this year,” Franklin said earlier this month. “It’s just we got to be more consistent. So again, I’m proud of him. I think he’s got a bright future. But nobody cares he’s a redshirt freshman. It’s time now. We need him to take that next step, and he is more than capable of being a big-time player in this league as a redshirt freshman.”
