Penn State Nittany Lions' star running backs, Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, have decided to return for the 2025 season, forgoing the opportunity to enter the 2025 NFL draft. This decision bolsters the Nittany Lions' already potent offense and solidifies their position as a top contender in college football.
The Penn State Nittany Lions showcased one of the most formidable offenses in all of college football in 2024. This potent offensive unit is poised to maintain its dominance in the upcoming season following the announcement of three key players' decision to return to Happy Valley for the 2025 season. Star running backs Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton both took to social media on Monday to declare their intention to continue their collegiate careers at Penn State .
Both players were highly regarded among the top running backs in the projected 2025 NFL draft, but they have opted to postpone their professional aspirations for another year to further bolster the Nittany Lions' backfield.Allen concluded his junior season, during which he accumulated 1,108 yards and eight touchdowns on 220 carries across 16 games. Known for his strength and physicality, he has consistently maintained an average of five or more yards per carry throughout his three seasons with the Nittany Lions. Singleton, also a junior, achieved the 1,000-yard milestone this season as well. He amassed 1,099 yards and 12 touchdowns on 172 carries, including three touchdowns against Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff, defying some speculation that he might turn professional after the team's CFP run.With the return of this trio of experienced stars, the Nittany Lions are expected to be one of the most formidable teams in the nation next season, particularly on offense.
