The junior running back out of Shillington, Pennsylvania enters his third season with the program with 1,813 career rushing yards and 393 receiving yards as well as 23 total career touchdowns. After rushing for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns as a freshman, Singleton didn't see as much success in 2023 with just 752 rushing yards and eight touchdowns.
That being said, despite the down season last fall, Singleton is still expected to be one of the nation's top running backs this fall and alongside Kaytron Allen will be one of the best running back tandems in the country.
Entering this season, Singleton ranks 19th all-time in Penn State rushing history with his 1,813 yards. Kaytron Allen is just one spot behind Singleton at No. 20 with 1,769 career rushing yards.
This preseason, Singleton earned watch list honors for both the Maxwell Award given to the nation's top player as well as the Doak Walker Award, annually given to the nation's top running back.
Singleton and the Nittany Lions will kickoff their 2024 season on August 31 against the West Virginia Mountaineers in Morgantown.
