During the 2024 season, Rojas appeared in all 13 games, contributing significantly to the team’s defense and special teams. He recorded 21 tackles, including 3.5 tackles for loss, along with a forced fumble and an interception.

Rojas has been recognized for his dedication and leadership on the field. He has expressed appreciation for the guidance provided by veteran teammates, which has aided his development as a key player for the Nittany Lions.

Given his current status as a collegiate athlete, Rojas is not under the jurisdiction of the NFL and, therefore, cannot be subject to any NFL-imposed suspensions. All available information points to Rojas maintaining a positive standing with his team and continuing his promising football career at Penn State.

When Penn State strength coach Chuck Losey was asked about sophomore linebacker Tony Rojas in September, he described a player who “just blew up” between his freshman and sophomore seasons. Since joining the Penn State football roster last year, Rojas has impressed coaches with his work ethic, building his 6-2 frame to a solid 236 pounds. A rare exception as a true freshman in 2023, he played in all 13 games, recording 21 tackles and an interception.

Now, through just four games as a sophomore, Rojas nearly has matched those numbers. Already one of the Nittany Lions’ leading defensive weapons, Rojas ranks fifth on the team in tackles (15), third in tackles for loss (2.5) and has one of the team’s four interceptions. His driven mindset has made a strong impression, and Rojas has stepped up in a linebacker room in need of production with Abdul Carter’s transition to defensive end.
