Penn State scored its most significant victory of the year on Thursday when four-star linebacker Tony Rojas committed to the Nittany Lions. Not only is Rojas the 124th player in the nation, according to the On300, but he’s one of Penn State’s longest recruiting efforts of the cycle. The Fairfax, VA native was a top target that Penn State was able to secure over the likes of Clemson, Georgia, and Virginia Tech. There have been a lot of impressive wins for Penn State this cycle, but holding off national champion Georgia ranks near the top. So why was the 6-2 linebacker such an essential player for Penn State and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz? We’ll get into what makes him an exceptional talent in T-Frank’s Film Room.
