Penn State football landed their top 2022 offensive target when 4-star running back Nicholas Singleton committed to the Nittany Lions.
This is a major recruiting victory for head coach James Franklin and his staff. Singleton is a Pennsylvania recruit, hailing from Reading, making him a key part of Franklin’s quest to retake dominance of the state.
Secondly, Penn State did not take a running back in the 2021 class, so landing an elite talent like Singleton at the position was one of Franklin’s main goals in the 2022 class.
