Junior linebacker Tony Rojas was slated to have an impressive season with Penn State football. Head coach James Franklin anticipated the veteran defender's success due to a healthy season after injury caused inconsistency in his 2024 season. At the start of the season, Rojas was enjoying the freedom that came with being healthy and not disrupted by injury. He said he felt like his focus tunnel visioned on playmaking.

Now, injury halts his success again.

Rojas will be out for an extended period of time due to an undisclosed, long-term injury, as reported by BlueWhite Illustrated.
