2023 Penn State position previews: Running Backs

Penn State’s running back situation is very promising in 2023 with Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen leading the way.

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. But Penn State also added to the running back room with help from the transfer portal and the recruiting efforts have continued to bring in talented running backs like London Montgomery and Cam Wallace in the Class of 2023.

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