Nick Singleton expected to play vs. UCLA in Week 6, per report
Published:
Nick Singleton is expected to be available on Saturday when the Nittany Lions take on Penn State, according to a report.
That news was shared by 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz on Friday afternoon. There was some doubt about Singleton’s status after he was absent from practice earlier in the week.
Zenitz’s report does not clarify why Singleton was not present earlier in the week, but Penn State’s star running back is expected to play vs. the Bruins:
