Green Light - Will play more than four games:
Singleton was one of the talks of the offseason for Penn State this offseason and fall camp. He's expected to play a significant role in the Nittany Lions offense this season and could end up being a starter within a few weeks.
Allen was called "the surprise of camp" by James Franklin on Monday during his weekly media availability as the head coach praised the former four-star running back for his big play abilities and production during fall camp. He will start as the Nittany Lions' third-string running back but could quickly become a big piece of the offense this season.
Carter was expected to play a big role in Penn State's linebacker room this fall and that expectation remains after a strong fall camp performance for the Philadelphia native.
While he may not have a huge impact in the first few games of the season, Dani Dennis-Sutton is going to be a name you see more and more as the season progresses. He had a strong first fall camp with the program after enrolling this summer, once he adapts to the college game fully, the sky is the limit for the former five-star.
