Nick Singleton, Kaytron Allen shockingly return to Penn State for 2025 season

The Penn State football team is still recovering from a heartbreaking loss in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Orange Bowl. Despite controlling the game for the most part, Penn State still fell to Notre Dame 27-24 to end its season just two wins from a national title.

The star of this CFP run for Penn State on offense was running back Nicholas Singleton. Singleton was expected to be one of the top running backs in the 2025 NFL Draft, but he shocked everyone on Monday when he decided to return to school for the 2025 season, according to Rich Scarcella of The Reading Eagle.

Shortly after Singleton’s decision to return, running back Kaytron Allen also announced that he was coming back to Penn State next season in a post on social media.

Singleton and Allen join quarterback Drew Allar as stars who are surprisingly returning to school next season. Allar will be one of the top returning quarterbacks in the nation and Singleton and Allen form one of the top running back duos in college football. As a result, the Nittany Lions will have one of the best offenses in the country on paper heading into 2025.
