Scrimmage Struggles Turn to Grit | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s first scrimmage had its rough patches—offense looked sluggish, tight end Ben Brahmer dubbed it a “struggle-bus day”—but by Saturday, the team turned it around with over 90 plays and relentless effort through the heat. Young transfer receiver Zay Robinson stole the show with a long touchdown catch and earned offensive MVP honors for his pro-level preparation. The offensive line also surged, with Brahmer naming them scrimmage MVPs as key players like Anthony Donkoh, Malachi Goodman, and Trevor Buhr show real progress. On defense, linebacker Tony Rojas emerged as a standout force, mastering new schemes while the linebackers as a unit continue to gel. Despite early hiccups, the team’s grit, chemistry, and improvement signal a promising training camp ahead of the season opener.
