We pay tribute to Jim Rosecrans this week. Jim passed away on December 22, 2022, at the age of 69. He attended Penn State and played the linebacker position from 1971-1975. Jim was banged up for a lot of his career but had a very good senior season in 1975. This was the season that Joe Paterno stated got the most out it's talent than any team he coached. We have several teammates to talk about Jim and their relationship with him. They include Tom Donchez, Tommy O'Dell, Buddy Tesner, Greg Buttle, Tom Giotta and Greg Murphy. We pay tribute to one of Penn State's unsung heroes in Jim Rosecrans.
