According to sports-reference.com, Nick Singleton (2,459) needs 60 yards to pass Eric McCoo (2,518) for 13th place in Penn State rushing history. Kaytron Allen (2,433) trails Singleton by 26 yards.

Cool fact: The top 35 running backs in Penn State history averaged 4.5 yards per carry or better.

He could get that on 1 play against a weak Maryland run defense.

I just said to my wife the other day that despite the hype coming out of high school and his speed, Singleton never takes one to the house (e.g., 40+ yards).* What is his longest run from scrimmage and his longest TD run at PSU?


* He returned a kickoff for ~97 yards for a TD to open the 2nd half against washington, but it was called back on a penalty.

~80 yards TD run vs Utah in the Rose Bowl. He had a KO TD return vs Rutgers last season(?) Or 2022?

He had an 87 yard TD run in the Rose Bowl vs Utah in 2023. I think he had another long one his freshman season. I feel like he has been dinged up a bit the last two years. He looks to be getting the explosiveness back now and Franklin admitted he is just getting back to 100%. He has been a really good player for PSU. Maybe not what some may have expected but he is a huge part of the PSU offense. And who can forget this play…
