Four-star wide receiver Tyseer Denmark of Philadelphia (PA) Roman Catholic High announced his commitment to Penn State Wednesday evening.

The 5-foot-11, 185 pounder was previously committed to Oregon.

Denmark on why he chose Penn State

“What stood out to me was everything,” Denmark said. “The culture, how tight the players are to one another. Also last but not least, coach Franklin is a rare find coach. He gives it real flat out and gonna make sure you become the best player and human for the next 40 years instead of just the 4. Lastly, what I really love about the coaches is that football isn’t the only main focus.”

Denmark ranks as the No. 235 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 40 wide receiver  and the No. 3 player in the state of Pennsylvania.

The in-state wide receiver joins coach James Franklin and the Nittany Lions top 15 class in the 2024 team rankings. He is accompanied by four-star athlete Quinton Martin, four-star cornerback Jon Mitchell, and others.

He currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $68K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Tyseer Denmark Personal Life (via On3)

“Philadelphia Roman Catholic coach Richard Prete told The Philadelphia Inquirer he knew in the eighth grade that Tyseer Denmark was going to be one of the best players he’s ever coached. He was right. By the time Denmark was done with his sophomore season at Roman Catholic, he had already racked up double-digit scholarship offers. As a junior, Denmark racked up 665 yards receiving, seven touchdown grabs and averaged 119 yards of total offense a game for Roman Catholic. He was a central figure in helping Roman Catholic to a city-title game appearance in 2022.”

“Definitely for us, he’s generational,” Prete told the Inquirer. “We had Marvin Harrison here, we had Will Fuller here, and we currently have Tyseer Denmark here. I don’t think they come along too often, and I think the guys at the college level, a lot of them have a great eye, and they’re able to see what he brings to the table. It got to a point that you realize no matter who we’re playing, we had the best player on the field, which is something that’s a great advantage. I think that a player, any time a team is game planning for him and he’s still able to be effective, I think that shows a great trait of being a step above everyone else.” Away from football, Demark enjoys playing video games, especially Madden.
