2025 Performance Analysis

Missed 2025 (Medical Redshirt). Before injury, he was on pace for an All-American season. Returns as the fastest linebacker in the Big Ten.

Biography

The "Virginia Missile" returns. Tony Rojas missed the majority of the 2025 season with a torn pectoral muscle (suffered Week 4 vs Illinois), but he is cleared for 2026. A prototype modern linebacker with elite sideline-to-sideline speed, Rojas is the new leader of the defense. He is projected to start at Will linebacker to maximize his chase ability.
