  "account": "State College, Pennsylvania - August 30, 2025 - Tony Rojas, the No. 8 linebacker in the 2023 class, has become the focal point of the Penn State Nittany Lions' defense after a breakout 2024 season. His most memorable play came during the 2024 College Football Playoff when he intercepted a pass, leading to a game-winning touchdown against SMU. Rojas, who is just 13 days away from leading the Nittany Lions in their season opener against Marshall, had an impressive start to the 2025 season. However, his promising campaign came to a premature end after suffering a knee injury that forced him to miss four games.",
