After a few tough years without getting much consistency out of the running game, Penn State saw the light in 2022 in the form of two impressive freshmen, [autotag]Nick Singleton[/autotag] and [autotag]Kaytron Allen[/autotag]. Singleton and Allen quickly elevated their game and took control of the ground attack as the team’s leading rushers as returning players Devyn Ford and Keyvone Lee struggled to stay on the field. Both Ford and Lee have since moved on from the Nittany Lions in search of other opportunities to play while Singleton and Allen moved forward as the core of the Penn State running game.
And there is a lot to look forward to in the form of a sophomore encore from each.

Here is a look at Penn State’s promising running back situation heading into the 2023 season.
