Future Penn State WR Tyseer Denmark announces transfer
A handful of Penn State commits kicked off their high school seasons Friday night. That includes future Penn State quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer, who threw for three touchdowns last night and rushed for another in a 46-35 win over Whitmer.
However, the majority of the class will start their seasons in the next two weeks. That includes the eight committed players who reside in Pennsylvania.
But one of Grunkemeyer’s future pass catchers made some news Friday night as well, as wide receiver Tyseer Denmark announced which school he’ll play for this upcoming season. The Philadelphia native, who made a name for himself at Roman Catholic, is now headed to another city powerhouse in Imhotep Charter.
Listed at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, Denmark will now have the opportunity to test himself every day in practice, as Imhotep regularly features some of the best defensive players in the state. That’s no different this year, as Denmark will now practice against one of his future college teammates in Kenny Woseley. Add in 2025 cornerback Saimire Locks, who currently holds offers from Michigan, Penn State, Pitt and Virginia Tech, and there’s no shortage of talented defensive backs for Denmark to work with.
Recruiting: Which 2024 prospects could Penn State potentially flip this fall?
Denmark is already considered one of the region’s top players. On3 rates him as a four-star prospect, ranking him No. 8 overall in Pennsylvania and No. 53 at the wide receiver position. The On3 Industry Ranking, which combines On3’s rating with 247Sports, ESPN and Rivals, rates him just a bit higher at No. 51 positionally and No. 6 overall in the Keystone State. Only wide receivers Rico Scott, Elijah Moore and Keylen Adams rank higher in the Mid-Atlantic region.
“Tyseer Denmark dropped from a 91 to a 90,” said On3’s Scouting Director Charles Power during the most recent rankings update for the Class of 2024. “When we were assessing the receivers, he’s above average in a lot of areas, but I wouldn’t say he’s overwhelming in any sort of area.
“For someone his size, it’s a little tougher for those guys to separate themselves. For those receivers who are under 6-foot, if you’re going to be in the On300, you really want to see those guys being speedsters. So, that played into that.”
Denmark is currently one of three wide receivers who have committed to Penn State’s Class of 2024. The other two are Josiah Brown, who also transferred this offseason to his hometown school Malverne in New York, and Peter Gonzalez, who plays at Central Catholic in Pittsburgh.
