Penn State’s vets shined in the team’s romp vs. Nebraska, and so did these young Lions
Kaytron Allen is now Penn State’s all-time leading rusher after yet another stellar performance on the ground.
Nick Singleton, Allen’s 2022 classmate and good friend, added two more touchdowns to his impressive career total, along with 95 combined rushing-receiving yards.
Singleton has amassed 53 touchdowns for PSU, tying him with Saquon Barkley for the most in program history.
Penn State’s offensive line, led by vets Vega Ioane, Nick Dawkins, Drew Shelton, Anthony Donkoh and Nolan Rucci, paved the way for the Lions’ 231 rushing yards and four rushing scores in PSU’s 37-10 steamrolling of Nebraska on Senior Night in State College.
Senior defensive linemen Dani Dennis-Sutton and Zane Durant combined for two sacks and two pass breakups in the contest.
The Penn State veterans came to play as the Lions improved to 5-6 in their final 2025 game at Beaver Stadium.
It was a good night for a few of the program’s gifted young players, too.
Ethan Grunkemeyer. The Lions’ redshirt freshman quarterback, in his fifth career start, completed 11 of 12 passes for 181 yards and a touchdown.
Grunkemeyer became the first Penn State quarterback to complete 90 percent of his passes on 10 or more attempts – “Grunk” was at 92 percent – since Todd Blackledge completed 10 of 11 (91 percent) passes at Syracuse in 1981.

Daryus Dixson. Penn State’s rapidly developing true freshman cornerback was a difference-maker against Nebraska, finishing with a career-high eight tackles, five of them solos.
Yvan Kemajou. The Lions’ true freshman edge rusher collected four tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss and a sack against the Cornhuskers. The sack was Kemajou’s first.
Kemajou has 4.5 tackles for loss.
Koby Howard. Penn State’s true freshman wideout delivered another explosive play on the Lions’ first touchdown drive – a 31-yard catch that positioned PSU at its 47. The Lions capped their 98-yard scoring march three plays later.
Howard, who has three explosive plays in 2025, is averaging 19.8 yards on five receptions.
Alex Tatsch. PSU’s true freshman linebacker produced a career-high five tackles, three of them solos.

Nebraska Game and Parks is offering residents a chance to win prizes simply for getting outside and moving, as part of a challenge honoring America’s 250th birthday.
The Outdoor Nebraska 250-Mile Challenge invites participants to log miles through activities like walking, running, kayaking, horseback riding and more using any fitness app. The goal is to reach 250 miles before the end of the year. Once completed, participants fill out a form on the Nebraska Game and Parks website to become eligible for prizes.
Mike Selman, a regular walker at Zorinsky Lake, said the challenge caught his attention.
“I think it’s great, as long as you put in the time and effort,” Selman said.
Selman said getting outdoors is already a big part of his routine.
“I absolutely love it, I love being outdoors, just the beauty, the nature, the trees, the water,” Selman said.
He said one of his favorite aspects of the challenge is the opportunity to explore Nebraska’s many outdoor spaces.
“Especially here, around Zorinsky, Standing Bear, Flanagan, you got great opportunities and great places to go,” Selman said.
When asked if he planned to submit his miles, Selman did not hesitate.
“I’ll definitely think about it, most definitely,” Selman said.
Between Memorial Day and the end of the year, logging just over 1 mile a day would be enough to reach the 250-mile goal and qualify for prizes.

We’ll have to wait a bit longer to get into the Cowgirls’ Super Regional.
A rainy night in Lincoln meant the teams only managed to get four outs into the Super between Oklahoma State and Nebraska. The game is tied at 0. The weather delay lasted about two hours before they called it.
The game will resume at 4 p.m. Friday and be televised on ESPN2. They will not play another game Friday, as Game 2 will now take place at 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Nebraska football team added its third 2027 offensive line commitment and addition from the state of Georgia on Wednesday.
Loganville (Ga.) Grayson offensive lineman KD Jones officially announced his commitment to NU this week. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Jones picked the Huskers over Georgia Tech, Auburn, Kentucky and Virginia Tech. He visited Lincoln on May 6 and is scheduled to take his official visit to Nebraska on June 6.

The Huskers first offered Jones in April, after offensive line coach Geep Wade had previously been recruiting him at Georgia Tech.
“Coach Wade called me and offered me today,” Jones told HuskerOnline on Apr. 25. “He has been on me for a long time, ever since he was at Tech. So his interest wasn’t anything new to me. He came to watch me train at school and was amazed. He offered the next day.”
Jones joins safety Corey Hadley from the state of Georgia in NU’s 2027 recruiting class.
“I knew nothing about Nebraska before the offer,” Jones said in April. But now that Coach Wade and Coach (Lonnie) Teasley are there, I know I can trust them.”
Jones had planned to take official visits to all the schools recruiting him, but his early commitment to NU appears to have shut down those visits.
He jones Omaha (Neb.) Millard North’s Matt Erickson and fellow Grayson product Jordan Agbanoma are the other offensive linemen in the Huskers’ 2027 recruiting class. He’s now the 10th commitment in Nebraska’s class of 2027.
