Three of Penn State’s top players are spending their off week receiving some national attention for their performances on the field. The Reese’s Senior Bowl announced its midseason All-Americans this week, and it included three Penn State football players; tight end [autotag]Tyler Warren[/autotag], running back [autotag]Nicholas Singleton[/autotag], and safety [autotag]Jaylen Reed[/autotag].
Singleton has rushed for a team-high 434 yards and has scored three rushing touchdowns this season. He has also added 113 receiving yards and 3 receiving touchdowns to his stat sheet so far this season. He also pulled off those numbers in five games after missing the home game against UCLA two weeks ago. Singleton is second on the team in total yards from scrimmage with 547 yards and leads the team with six all-purpose touchdowns.
The only player with more yards from scrimmage this season for Penn State has been Warren, who has 551 total yards from scrimmage. Warren leads the Nittany Lions with 513 receiving yards after a massive day catching the football in an overtime win at USC last weekend. Warren accounted for 224 receiving yards against the Trojans, which is the second-most in a single game in program history, and he tied the FBS record for most receptions in a single game by a tight end (17).
Reed is Penn State’s leading tackler so far this season with 39 total tackles, with 20 solo tackles, and 19 assists. Reed also has 1.5 sacks and one interception. Reed has also forced a fumble and recovered a fumble this season.
