James Franklin is looking forward to having the Penn State Nittany Lions running back unit succeed in the 2025 season. He is also anticipating the return of Cam Wallace, who went through injuries last year.
Going into the fall, the Nittany Lions have nine players at the position, including Wallace. Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron Allen, Jabree Coleman, Tikey Hayes, Corey Smith, Quinton Martin Jr., Amiel Davis, and Tyler Holzworth round out the group.
Wallace stands out as a unique case. Singleton and Allen have the first and second spots, but Wallace boasted the third spot last year before his injury. He suffered it in the Nittany Lions' third game against Kent State, where he rushed for 63 yards and a score on 18 attempts.
