PITTSBURGH — Penn State running back Nick Singleton heard his name called in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, after being selected 165 overall in the fifth round by the Tennessee Titans.

The Shillington native and Penn State standout is waiting to hear his name called in the NFL Draft. And in Reading, they’re celebrating in a big way.

While the Nittany Lions failed to reach the CFP in his final year however, Singleton did manage to break two records formerly held by Penn State legend Saquon Barkley: most rushing touchdowns in a career and most all-purpose yards as well.

NFL teams largely stayed away from the running back position through the first three rounds of the NFL draft, with only the Notre Dame pair of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price selected in the opening round and Indiana's Kaelon Black taken in the third.
