Penn State running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton confirmed their return for the 2025 season, bringing renewed hope to the Nittany Lions after a narrow 27-24 loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl. This decision comes as a boost for the team, which is eager to build on their recent performances.
In their announcements, both players expressed a strong commitment to their teammates and the program. Singleton emphasized, “We still have goals we want to reach as a team, and I want to be alongside my teammates as we reach those goals.”
This season, Allen showcased impressive skills, rushing for 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Singleton was equally remarkable, with 1,099 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, ranking fourth in the conference with an average of 6.4 yards per carry.
Adding to the excitement, star quarterback Drew Allar also announced his return for his senior year last month. With these key players back on the roster, the Nittany Lions are poised to have one of the most formidable offenses in college football as they prepare for the 2025 campaign.
The combination of Allen, Singleton, and Allar positions Penn State as a strong contender for both the Big Ten title and a shot at the national championship in 2025. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this talented trio will impact the upcoming season.
