Breaking News: BYU Football Lands Elite Powerhouse RB Nicholas Singleton
In a move sending shockwaves through the college football world, BYU Football has landed one of the most physically dominant and promising young running backs in the nation — Nicholas Singleton. Weighing in at a staggering 275 pounds, Singleton brings a rare combination of size, speed, and explosiveness to the Cougars’ backfield, and his commitment marks a defining moment for head coach Kalani Sitake and his program.
Regarded as a generational talent, Singleton has drawn national attention since his early high school days. Known for bulldozing defenses, breaking through tackles, and accelerating like a much lighter back, Singleton has often been described as a “freight train with finesse.” His unique build allows him to run over linebackers, but his agility and vision allow him to slip past defenders with ease — a lethal combination rarely seen at the collegiate level.
Singleton’s decision to join BYU represents more than just a major recruiting win; it’s a statement of intent. The Cougars are entering a new era, competing in the Big 12 with increased expectations, visibility, and stakes. Signing a player like Singleton shows the program’s commitment to building a roster capable of challenging national contenders. His presence in the backfield could immediately change the dynamics of BYU’s offense and give them a true every-down, game-changing weapon.
Throughout the recruiting process, Singleton was courted by many of the nation’s elite programs, including Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio State. Ultimately, his connection with the BYU coaching staff, the school’s culture, and the opportunity to become a central figure in the offense helped sway his decision. Sources close to the program say Singleton was impressed by the vision presented to him — a chance to not just play, but to lead.
Fans are understandably ecstatic. Cougar Nation lit up social media following the announcement, with many hailing Singleton as one of the most important signings in recent program history. Several BYU alumni and former players have also expressed their excitement, noting how Singleton’s arrival could rejuvenate BYU’s run game and bring a new level of physical dominance to the offense.
From a strategic standpoint, Singleton fits perfectly into BYU’s system. His size makes him an ideal short-yardage and red-zone threat, while his deceptive speed allows him to break away for big gains. Behind BYU’s experienced offensive line, Singleton could flourish and become a national standout early in his college career.
As fall camp approaches, all eyes will be on Singleton to see how quickly he adapts to the college game. If his high school dominance is any indication, Cougar fans could be in for a treat.
Welcome to Provo, Nicholas Singleton — BYU’s newest star, and possibly the next big name in college football.
