Kaytron Allen Surpasses 3,000 Rushing Yards in Penn State Rout
8 Sep
Summary
- Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton both reach 3,000 career rushing yards
- Allen's 144-yard, 67-yard TD run powers Penn State's 34-0 win over FIU
- Allen emerging from Singleton's shadow, now leads teammate in career yardage
On September 2nd, 2025, Penn State running back Kaytron Allen reached a significant milestone in his college career, surpassing 3,000 rushing yards for the Nittany Lions. Allen's impressive 144-yard, 16-carry effort in Penn State's 34-0 win over FIU was the best single-game performance of his career so far.
Allen's standout day included a dazzling 67-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter that put the game out of reach for the visitors. This explosive play was exactly the kind of highlight-reel moment that Penn State fans had been craving to see from their star running back.
Allen's achievement is even more impressive considering that he has often been overshadowed by his teammate, Nicholas Singleton, who won Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 2022. However, Allen has now surpassed Singleton in career rushing yards, solidifying his status as one of the top running backs in the conference.
With one more non-conference game remaining before the highly anticipated White Out matchup against Oregon, Allen will look to continue his strong form and help lead the Nittany Lions to a successful 2025 season.
