Beyond being a prized running back, Nicholas “Nick” Singleton has also been an outstanding athlete. Back in high school, he was dominating on the football field in 2021, running the 100-meter dash in 10.89 seconds and throwing the shot put nearly 47 feet. Nick participated in relays, the 200, triple jump, long jump, and pretty much everything else related to track and field. Not to mention that he holds the record for the most touchdown runs in his career in Berks County.

The 6 ft, 224 lb running back became well-known at Governor Mifflin and went on to win the Gatorade National Player of the Year title in 2021. He then brought that same energy to Penn State, where he immediately made a mark as a freshman and quickly jumped to the top of the Big Ten’s backfield rankings. Singleton has a reputation for being the type of player that defenses circle on the schedule and still have trouble stopping once the game starts. And all through this, Nick has had the support of his family, including his siblings.

Influence of upbringing on faith and character
Nick Singleton’s motivation and drive on the field don’t just show up out of nowhere; it has been instilled in him by his family. Growing up in Shillington with his parents, Nicole and Timmy Singleton, and his siblings, Zhane, Christian, and Sean, Nick was surrounded by love and care. His dad, who works as a mail carrier, taught him what hard work really looks like every day, and his mom, a nurse, gave him the kind of nurturing and care that kept him grounded.
This is the reason why Nick never lets money or offers from other programs influence him. When NIL deals came flying his way, it was his parents who kept him focused on what was much more important: loyalty, teamwork, and his future. Even his dad was blunt when he said that, even if money was on the table, Nick would never leave Penn State. “There was money put out there. But Nicholas was never going to leave. It was more important to stay at Penn State with his teammates and coaches. He wanted to be loyal as opposed to leaving and going somewhere else for more money,” Tim said. And this sums up every time he hits the field, his attitude speaks volumes about the kind of person he is.
