BREAKING NEWS 🚨: BYU Football Lands College Football’s Most Promising 275-Pound Running Back – Welcome Nicholas Singleton!
Provo, UT – June 28, 2025 — In a stunning and electrifying development that’s sending shockwaves across the college football landscape, BYU Football has officially landed one of the most dynamic and physically dominant young stars in the nation: Nicholas Singleton, the powerhouse 275-pound running back widely regarded as the most promising talent at his position.
Yes, you read that right. Singleton — a rare blend of size, speed, and skill — is now a Cougar. And BYU fans everywhere are celebrating one of the biggest recruiting wins in the program’s recent history.
🏈 The Arrival of a Generational Talent
Hailing from Shillington, Pennsylvania, Singleton made waves as a top recruit out of Governor Mifflin High School before dazzling at Penn State. His ability to break tackles, hit top gear in the open field, and plow through defensive lines made him a household name. Now, standing at an imposing 6’0”, 275 pounds, Singleton combines brute strength with breakaway speed that simply defies logic for a player his size.
Dubbed “a freight train in cleats” by scouts and analysts, Singleton is not just a running back — he’s a game-changer. With over 2,000 career rushing yards already under his belt, and a highlight reel that looks like something out of a video game, the ceiling for Singleton in Provo is sky-high.
🔵 Why BYU?
Sources close to Singleton say his decision came down to culture, coaching, and opportunity.
> “BYU is building something real, something powerful,” Singleton shared in a brief but emotional video posted to social media. “Coach [Kalani] Sitake made me feel like family. The program is hungry, and I want to be part of that championship grind.”
With BYU continuing to cement its status in the Big 12 and beyond, the addition of Singleton is a clear signal that the Cougars are not just participating — they’re preparing to dominate.
🧨 What This Means for the Cougars
This is not just a headline. Singleton’s arrival fundamentally shifts BYU’s offensive playbook and gives the team an identity as a bruising, high-octane attack. Whether it’s 3rd-and-short or breaking free on a 60-yard sprint, Singleton is a threat every time he touches the ball.
Expect offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick to get creative — using Singleton in traditional ground-and-pound scenarios, but also flexing him into passing schemes and misdirection sets to keep defenses guessing.
👀 National Buzz
Already, analysts are calling Singleton’s commitment to BYU “the most surprising and impactful portal move of the offseason.”
ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit weighed in:
> “If you’re not watching BYU this fall, you’re going to miss one of the most exciting players in college football. Singleton at 275? That’s Derrick Henry 2.0 with more gas.”
🚨 The Hype is Real
Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement. BYU’s official football account posted a cinematic welcome video featuring Singleton in Cougar blue, with the caption: “He’s here. And he’s ready to run wild.”
Fans flooded the comments with gifs, predictions, and one recurring phrase: “Welcome home, Nicholas.”

📅 What’s Next?
Fall camp can’t come soon enough. Singleton is expected to report to campus in July, where he’ll immediately begin work with BYU’s strength and conditioning team. And come Week 1, Cougar Nation will be watching every carry, every hit, and every step of this rising legend.
One thing’s for certain: BYU Football just got a whole lot scarier.
Welcome to Provo, Nicholas Singleton. The mountain is yours to run. 🐾💪
