Penn State Defense Takes Shape | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s defense is turning things around heading into the season opener, with key returns and emerging talent lighting the way. Safety Jeremiah Cooper, a two-time All-Big Ten player recovering from ACL surgery, is back on the field taking team reps — a huge boost. Linebacker Abdul Rojas, also recovering from injury, is healthy and dominating practice, while defensive end Yvan Kemajou is making a strong push for a starting role. The defensive line, which lost all starters last year, is showing real progress — especially in pass rush, with players learning to work together. With new coordinator D’Anton Lynn and 18 transfers, the unit is gelling faster than expected. Confidence is rising as the Nittany Lions prepare for Week One.
