Penn State Nittany Lions football secured the commitment of another talented running back on Friday.
This time, it was Kaytron Allen.
Allen, a four-star prospect, is the second running back in Penn State's Class of 2022, joining in-state prospect Nick Singleton who committed last week.
Allen is the No. 6 ranked running back by Rivals in the Class of 2022. He plays his high school football at IMG Academy in Florida.
Penn State remains third in Rivals' team rankings following Allen's commitment.

1. Ohio State
2. Notre Dame
3. Penn State
4. LSU
5. Florida State
6. Oklahoma
7. Oregon
8. Texas
9. Michigan
10. Georgia
Allen became the Nittany Lions' 19th commitment in the 2021 cycle. Only Navy, Air Force, Marshall and Boston College have more among Football Bowl Subdivision schools.
Here's how those commits break down by position:
Quarterbacks: 2 — Beau Pribula, Drew Allar
