Titans selected Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton with the No. 165 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

25 April 2026

The top running back recruit of the 2022 class, Singleton (6’/219) burst onto the scene as a true freshman with 1,061 yards at a staggering 6.8 yards per carry. He split work with fellow newcomer Kayton Allen and that would never change during his four years at Penn State. Though his role on the ground never improved much, Singleton exploded as a receiver in his sophomore and junior seasons. He caught 26 passes for 308 yards and two scores in 2023 and jumped to 41 grabs for 375 yards with five touchdowns in 2024. Penn State’s entire football program fell apart in Singleton’s final season and he was held to just 549 yards on the ground and 219 through the air. Singleton has the top gear you would expect from someone with over 1,100 career kick return yards, but he goes down on first contact rather easily. He’s a straight-line runner whose calling card in the NFL will be his speed and pass-catching prowess. At his size, that’s an interesting skill set to have.
