The Penn State Nittany Lions are set to host a very talented Ohio State team on Saturday, in what should be an incredibly top five matchup. That game will have a big hand in settling the Big Ten conference, and could end up deciding seeding for the college football playoff. The magnitude of the game could be big.
For this Penn State team, there is a ton of talent, which there usually is. There are several players that fans will want to know for the 2025 NFL Draft class. Here are the best prospects for the Nittany Lions you will see on Saturday, not counting safety Kevin Winston who is injured.
QB Drew Allar (JR) – 6040e, 225e
The quarterback class is still pretty wide open. Names like Cameron Ward (Miami) and Shedeur Sanders (Colorado) have risen in the class, but a lot is going to change during this draft process. We have seen some massive improvements from Allar this season so far, and he has the prototype size and arm strength that NFL teams tend to fall for.
RB Nicholas Singleton (JR) – 6000e, 226e
Once a five-star recruit in the 2022 recruiting class, a lot was expected of Singleton coming in. He got off to a fast start, but there is still a lot more meat on the bone. Singleton is a massive runner with explosive long speed. There is a lot of Cam Akers in his game. He’s certainly a gifted athlete, but more refinement as a pure runner is needed.
TE Tyler Warren (SR) – 6057v, 260v
The NFL liked Warren a ton heading into the season, and that interest has only gotten higher. So far this year, Warren has hauled in 47 receptions for 559 yards and four touchdowns. He boasts a huge frame, and Warren is an incredibly smooth athlete. Warren is the modern tight end that can move all over the formation, and can serve as a mismatch weapon.
EDGE Abdul Carter (JR) – 6030e, 253e
Considered a potential top 10 prospect coming into the season, Carter could have a real argument to be the first player selected in April. Carter is a former linebacker, but has really started to evolve on the edge. He is fast, explosive, bendy, and versatile.
EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton (JR) – 6050e, 266e
From a physical perspective, you aren’t going to find a more impressive defensive end prospect than Dennis-Sutton. You see the tools on film, but the production hasn’t quite come yet. Barring a crazy jump the rest of the season, he is probably a candidate to go back to school.
DT Zane Durant (JR) – 6010e, 288e
Durant is another example of the undersized three techniques that are becoming more prevalent. Despite being a smaller frame, Durant is incredibly strong. He has a quick first step to split a gap, but has the natural leverage and strength to be an asset against the run. Just a junior, it’s unlikely that Durant is a part of the 2025 class, but you never know.
S Jaylen Reed (SR) – 6000e, 210e
Over the years, Reed has done a lot of different things for this Penn State defense. In his career, Reed has recorded 127 total tackles, four interceptions, six pass breakups, 10 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. There isn’t anything dynamic about him, but Reed has played between nickel and safety during his career. That versatility will be very attractive to NFL teams.
