Through three years of high school, Singleton has been as dominant as any back in this recruiting class. As a sophomore, Singleton rushed for over 1,690 yards (9.4 YPC) and 32 TDs. In 2020, Singleton saw a slight decrease in his touches due to playing in only eight games but was efficient as ever. Rushing for 1,303 yards (12.3 YPC) and 22 TDs. Prior to his sophomore year of high school, Singleton competed at the Nike Opening. From June of 2019 he weighed in at 5’11” and 191lbs. At the same event he clocked a 4.59 40-yard dash and 36.4” vertical jump. Even as a freshman, Singleton clocked a 11.21 100-meters time. No decision is expected in the Singleton recruitment until after June. He’s got official visits lined up to Wisconsin, Penn State, Notre Dame, Michigan, and Ohio State. His rumored top three at Penn State, Notre Dame, and Ohio State lead into his official visit schedules.
As a junior, Singleton appeared to be hovering around the 200lbs range. He’s got a great frame and can easily bulk up to the 210-220lbs range by the end of his college career. Singleton shows great speed on the field, I would imagine he’s a sub 11 second 100-meter guy by this point in his development. He doesn’t appear to be playing against the stiffest competition, but Singleton is a man amongst boys. His highlight reel is 8 mins of tosses and options to the outside that he’s able to take to the end zone from any distance. I really like Singletons burst and explosion. He can hit top gear in a short manner. Singleton runs with great fluidity; can slice through a defense with ease.
Due to the nature of his high school offense, you don’t get to see Singleton get a lot of pass-catching reps. I’d like to get more evidence of Singleton being able to run between the tackles. I’d say at least 80-90% of his highlights are rushes outside of the hashes. He’ll take a toss/option pitch and just use his speed and burst to beat defenders to the outside and score with ease.
Singleton is an interesting prospect with a big upside. He’ll need to round out his game in college but he’s considered a top level NFL prospect. His lack of pass-catching (he may be a great pass-catcher with just no evidence on film) and the need to adapt to running more between the tackles will determine how highly Singleton is viewed. He’ll also have a giant step up in competition in high school. There’s just nobody on the field that can match speed or physically with Singleton in his area. I really like what I’ve seen from Singleton but he’s got some clear areas of improvement in his game. He’ll easily be a top five back in this class for me.
