NASHVILLE – Penn State running back Nick Singleton had draft caps ready for all 32 teams.
On Saturday, after being selected in the fifth round by the Tennessee Titans, he slid on his new lid with a smile.
"To end up with the Titans, I'm just blessed, man," said Singleton, who was selected with the 165th overall pick. "I am so grateful, so blessed to be a part of this organization. I just can't wait to leave my mark here."
Singleton was an extremely productive player for the Nittany Lions.
In four college seasons, Singleton set a Penn State record with 5,586 all-purpose yards.
The 6-foot, 219-pound Singleton ran for 3,451 yards in four college seasons, with 45 rushing touchdowns. He also caught 102 passes in his college career, for 987 yards and nine touchdowns. Singleton was also used to return kicks at Penn State, where he tallied 1,138 yards.
"I feel like I am a really physical back, a speed back, too," Singleton said. "I feel like I am a complete back, too, can run the ball, catch the ball out of the backfield and be able to go block, stick my nose down and go block. That's kind of my game."
Singleton scored a career-high 13 rushing touchdowns in 2025 despite the lowest rushing total of his college career (549 yards). Singleton ran for 1,061 yards as a freshman, 752 yards as a sophomore and 1,099 yards as a junior.
Singleton was a five-star recruit coming out of high school at Governor Mifflin in Pennsylvania, where he was named the 2021 Gatorade National Player of the Year.
Now he's made it to the NFL, with the Titans.
"I know they produce a lot of good running backs, and I can't wait to put my name on that list, too," Singleton said. "I am super-blessed to be a part of the organization and I can; wait to get to work."
The Titans selected Nick Singleton in the fifth round of Saturday night's NFL Draft. Singleton was taken with the 165th overall pick.
