NICHOLAS SINGLETON NEWS

Pops long score Saturday Singleton had 13 carries for 114 yards and one touchdown and gathered in their only target for 13 yards during Saturday's 34-12 victory over West Virginia.

Impact Singleton looked like his old explosive self with two 40-yard rushes Week 1, including a dash to the end zone to put Penn State up 27-6 early in the third quarter. The 226-pound speedster also recorded just his second 100-yard rushing performance since his breakout freshman campaign. After running behind a shoddy offensive line last season, the junior tailback had multiple chances to explode for long gains on well-blocked running plays Saturday, as things looked all-around much easier for this unit in the first game under new offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki. After Week 1, Singleton appears primed to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of this revamped offensive play calling in Penn State.

Kept in check again Singleton had 13 carries for 43 yards and hauled in his only target for six yards during Saturday's 24-15 loss to Michigan.

Impact Singleton was once again stymied by an opposing defense. The sophomore running back has not benefitted while rushing in a Nittany Lions offense that completely lacks explosion, as he's now failed to rush for over 50 yards in each of the last four games. Singleton has also averaged just 3.9 yards per carry over ten games, so it's hard to imagine his production will improve much, if at all, over the final two games of the regular season.

Logs season low yards in win Singleton notched eight rushes for 20 yards during Saturday's 51-15 win versus Maryland.

Impact Singleton was held to season lows in both touches and total yards, and he also went without a catch for just the second time this season. The true sophomore running back seemed to play second fiddle to Kaytron Allen, who logged team highs in rushing attempts (14) and yards (91). These two have repeatedly split carries throughout the season, but Singleton has accumulated fewer rushing yards (480) than Allen (573) through nine games. Penn State's lack of explosion in the rushing game will likely continue to curb the fantasy production of these two so long as they continue to split carries moving forward. Singleton's rushing efficiency doesn't figure to see much of a boost while facing Michigan's elite defense in Happy Valley this coming Saturday.

Scores in tight win Singleton recorded 15 rushes for 50 yards and one touchdown and reeled in five of seven targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 33-24 victory over Indiana.

Impact Singleton worked his way back up to double-digit carries after logging just nine during last week's loss to Ohio State. The sophomore running back also logged a season-high in targets, though he still finished behind fellow sophomore Kaytron Allen in terms of carries (18) and rushing yards (81). However, both still logged the exact same number of touches, and Singleton tallied the team's lone rushing score. Singleton leads the Nittany Lions in total touchdowns this season with eight, but he's only logged one score over the last three games. He and Allen should continue to split duties out of the backfield versus Maryland in Week 10.

No. 10 Penn State gets late TD pass from Drew Allar, escapes Indiana, 33-24

Drew Allar threw three touchdowns, including a 57-yarder to KeAndre Lambert-Smith, as No. 10 Penn beat Indiana, 33-24.

OCTOBER 28, 2023

Totals 54 yards in loss Singleton notched nine carries for 48 yards and caught one of two targets for six yards during Saturday's 20-12 defeat against Ohio State.

Impact Singleton started the game very strong with back-to-back carries of 15-plus yards on the Nittany Lions' third offensive series. This success didn't last, however, as the sophomore was limited to seven rushing attempts for 12 yards over the remainder of the game. Singleton's track record as an extremely explosive playmaker makes him a rather tantalizing fantasy product, though he's logged just two touchdowns over the past four games -- both of which came against Northwestern in Week 5. Singleton and the Nittany Lions will look to establish some much-needed consistency versus Indiana in Week 9.

OCTOBER 18, 2023

Leading rusher in blowout win Singleton recorded 15 rushes for 79 yards during Saturday's 63-0 win versus Massachusetts.

Impact Singleton tallied a team high in rushing attempts and yards during this walk-over win for the Nittany Lions. While fellow sophomore running back Kaytron Allen was able to suit up after exiting with an undisclosed injury Week 5, the team's coaching staff kept his workload rather light with just nine carries (for 68 yards). These two running backs has been the Big Ten's most productive duo at the midway point of the season, with Singleton tallying 89 carries for 362 yards while Allen has accumulated 78 rushes for 375 yards. Both of these running backs will likely play significant roles during next week's possibly season-defining road game against Ohio State.
