Nick Singleton is no longer a Penn State player, but the latest reporting has produced more draft-health updates than any new news about his next stop. (si.com) PennLive reported on January 19, 2026, that Singleton posted his NFL Draft declaration on Instagram after opting out of Penn State’s December 27, 2025 Pinstripe Bowl against Clemson. (pennlive.com) Reporting around the bowl exit was firmer than the recent chatter: the Reading Eagle report cited by multiple outlets said Singleton would skip the Pinstripe Bowl, stay in State College to train, and still travel with the team to New York. (247sports.com) The update that did move in the last week came from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, who reported Singleton was medically cleared and running again after breaking a foot during Senior Bowl preparation in January. Sports Illustrated’s Penn State site published that report on April 17, 2026. (si.com) That injury shaped his pre-draft spring. Sports Illustrated reported Singleton could not do most testing at the National Football League Scouting Combine or Penn State’s Pro Day, though he did complete 25 bench-press reps at Pro Day. (si.com) The reason his departure drew attention at Penn State is straightforward: the school lists Singleton as its career leader in rushing touchdowns with 45, total touchdowns with 55, and all-purpose yards with 5,586. (gopsusports.com) Penn State’s official record book page for Singleton also lists 3,461 career rushing yards, which ranks fifth in program history, and identifies him as part of the first Penn State backfield pair with Kaytron Allen to top 3,000 career rushing yards at the same time. (gopsusports.com) His final full season at Penn State was productive but uneven. ESPN’s career stats page credits Singleton with 1,099 rushing yards, 12 rushing touchdowns, 41 catches, 375 receiving yards, and five receiving touchdowns in 2024, then 549 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns in the injury-affected 2025 season. (espn.com) NFL.com has kept Singleton on its 2026 draft prospects page, but no official draft destination, free-agent deal, or transfer destination has been posted there. (nfl.com) So the clearest answer to the chatter is narrower than the rumor cycle suggests: Singleton’s Penn State career ended with the bowl opt-out and draft declaration, and the freshest confirmed development is that he is healthy enough to run again before the 2026 draft.
