Penn State Football’s Kaytron Allen Named Big Ten Freshman Of The Week
Penn State football doesn’t have just one star true freshman running back. It has two.
Kaytron Allen was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week following his performance in Penn State’s 33-14 win over Central Michigan on Saturday. This marks three consecutive weeks in which a Nittany Lion has earned the honor, as fellow true freshman Nick Singleton took home the award the prior two weeks.
