STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Running backs want to return to Penn State.
Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen announced Monday that they plan to return to the Nittany Lions for the 2025 season. Each duo topped 1,000 yards this season for Penn State, which went 13-3 and lost to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinals last week.
Allen posted on Instagram that he had “unfinished business” to attend to while Singleton wrote “We still have goals that we want to achieve as a team and I want to be with those teammates as we reach those goals.”
The tandem was a vital part of the offense that helped Penn State to the Big Ten Conference title and then advanced to the CFP semifinals before falling to the Fighting Irish in a thriller at the Orange Bowl.
Singleton ran for 84 yards and scored three times against Notre Dame to finish his junior season with 1,099 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns. Allen, also a junior, had 82 yards on the ground against the Irish and finished with 1,108 rushing yards and eight scores.
Penn State quarterback Drew Allar will also be back next season, although Abdul Carter signed with agent Drew Rosenhaus last week and is expected to be among the first players taken in the spring NFL draft.
