Penn State Linebacker Tony Rojas Anchors Defense Amid Losing Streak

Penn State Linebacker Tony Rojas Anchors Defense Amid Losing Streak
World Sports · 18:48:40 - Thursday, 29 October 2026

Penn State linebacker Tony Rojas has been a consistent presence for the Nittany Lions defense during a recent losing streak, according to a report published October 28, 2026.

Photos from Associated Press show Rojas celebrating with teammates after key defensive plays in two October games. On October 10, 2026, Rojas and defensive back Yvan Kemajou reacted after Southern California kicker Caden Chittenden missed a field goal in State College, Pennsylvania. A week later, on October 17, 2026, Rojas celebrated with cornerback Josiah Zayas following an interception against Michigan in Ann Arbor.

The Nittany Lions have faced consecutive setbacks, but Rojas continues to anchor the unit. The article by Travis Johnson highlights his leadership on the field.
