BREAKING: Penn State Nittany Lions Most Outstanding RB Nicholas Singleton Reaffirms His Allegiance — Rejects Jaw-Dropping $10.5 Million NIL Offer from Ohio State, Florida to Remain a Nittany Lion — “My Mission Remains Being a Penn State Legend”
University Park, PA — In a dramatic and heart-stirring declaration of loyalty, Nicholas Singleton, Penn State’s most outstanding and electrifying running back, has officially turned down a staggering $10.5 million NIL offer reportedly extended by both Ohio State and Florida, choosing instead to remain true to his roots and his mission in Happy Valley.
In a time when college athletes are regularly lured by multi-million-dollar opportunities and high-profile transfers, Singleton’s decision is being hailed as one of the most powerful statements of character, commitment, and love for a program in recent NCAA memory.
“I was raised to finish what I started,” Singleton said in a press release that immediately went viral. “The money was tempting. The attention was overwhelming. But none of it compares to the honor of wearing that Penn State jersey. My mission remains clear — to be a Nittany Lion legend.”
Millions Left on the Table, Legacy in the Making
The 10.5 million dollar offer, sources confirm, included brand partnerships, luxury incentives, and front-loaded endorsement deals from powerhouse NIL collectives tied to both Ohio State and the University of Florida. Analysts speculated that Singleton’s name had risen to the top of every major recruiter’s wish list after back-to-back breakout seasons that saw him eclipse 1,200 rushing yards and ignite game-winning plays with breathtaking speed and toughness.
Yet despite the offers and the pressure, Singleton never wavered.
“He told us straight up,” said Head Coach James Franklin. “He said, ‘Coach, I came here to make history — not to chase headlines.’ That’s Nicholas Singleton. That’s Penn State.”
“We Are” Loyalty in Action
For the Penn State faithful, Singleton’s decision has transcended football — becoming a symbol of pride, unity, and the values that built the program. In a time when college football has often felt like a revolving door, Singleton’s stand feels like a throwback to the kind of loyalty that defined the sport’s golden era.
Fans flooded social media with tributes, fan art, and heartfelt thank-you messages under the trending hashtag #LoyalLion.
“Today, Singleton reminded us all that legends aren’t just built on touchdowns — they’re built on loyalty,” tweeted one alum. “He’s not just our RB1. He’s our heart.”
Eyes on Glory
With Singleton locked in for another season, the Penn State offense is primed to contend for national honors. His return, coupled with a surging offensive line and a re-energized coaching staff — including the recent hire of Lavar Arrington as OC — has injected serious momentum into the Nittany Lions’ 2025–26 campaign.
Singleton himself has one goal in mind.
“I’m here to win. I’m here to lead. And I’m here to leave behind a legacy that no amount of money can ever buy.”
A Lion Through and Through
As college football continues to evolve in the NIL era, Nicholas Singleton’s stunning decision to remain at Penn State is more than a headline — it’s a reminder that in the roar of stadiums, beneath the bright lights and soaring figures, there are still players driven by something deeper.
For Singleton, it’s not about fame or fortune. It’s about finishing what he started — as a Lion, as a leader, and as a legend in the making.WE ARE… PENN STATE. 🦁💙
