Four-star linebacker Alex Tatsch has committed to Penn State’s recruiting class of 2025, he announced Sunday on Twitter.

The linebacker hails from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and played his high school ball at Greater Latrobe High School. Tatsch is rated as the 307th prospect in the nation and is the tenth-ranked player in Pennsylvania, according to 247Sports composite rankings.

During his junior year at Greater Latrobe, Tatsch recorded four interceptions and forced three fumbles during his 12 games, per MaxPreps.

Tatsch is the ninth player to join a growing recruiting Class of 2025 after three-star offensive tackle Owen Aliciene committed in January. Penn State’s Class of 2025 is ranked seventh in the nation and second in the Big Ten by 247Sports.
