Why Penn State's Abdul Carter, Kaytron Allen made ESPN's preseason list of the top 100 players in college football.
ESPN's preseason list of the top 100 players in college football hedged strongly in the SEC's favor, with six of the top 10 hailing from the conference. It also shied away from heaping too much preseason praise on Penn State football, which landed just two players in the top 100. And one of them was a bit of surprise.
"He has shared carries with Nicholas Singleton in his first two seasons but projects as the stronger NFL draft prospect," Penn State running backs coach Ja'Juan Seider has said that the position-sharing strategy likely won't change this season. In fact, he said their commitment to the idea is why both are still at Penn State.
"I think they could, and we've got to allow them to do it for us, too, because they're talented enough to take over the game," Seider said. "People say I'm just biased, but I think they are the two best running backs in the country, and if you feed them enough, good things are going to happen.", is Penn State's defensive player who will draw the most attention. ESPN ranked him at No. 20, seeing much promise from his move to defensive end.
