Penn State running backs Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron Allen named to preseason Doak Walker Award watch list.
Penn State running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen have continued their tandem ride even during watch list season, as both are preseason nominees for the Doak Walker Award, given annually to the nation's top back. Penn State is among several schools with multiple candidates, including Ohio State with TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins.
Ja'Juan Seider, Penn State's running backs coach, might have one of the most delicate jobs on staff. How does he manage to keep both backs happy in a position room, and an offense, that actively considers them co-starters?
