Kaytron Lamont Allen is the other half of Penn State's dynamic rushing duo. Born January 8, 2003, Allen brings power and vision to exploit running lanes between the tackles. In 2024, he appeared in 16 games (5 starts) and rushed for 1,108 yards on 220 carries (5.1 yards per carry) with eight touchdowns. He also added 18 receptions for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Allen reached 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his career, becoming the 18th Nittany Lion to reach this milestone. Together with Nicholas Singleton, they became the first Penn State duo to both rush for 1,000 yards in a single season. He finished fifth in the Big Ten in rushing yardage and 13th in program history for single-season rushing attempts. In 2025, Allen returned for his senior season with 3,150 career rushing yards, also chasing Evan Royster's school record. He scored a crucial touchdown in double-overtime against Oregon, showcasing his clutch ability in high-pressure situations.
Both Nick Singleton and Kaytron Allen are within striking distance of Evan Royster's school rushing record. The dynamic duo has a realistic chance to become Penn State's top two rushers in history.
