Penn State football linebacker Alex Tatsch and defensive tackle Armstrong Nnodim are listed as questionable for the Nittany Lions’ White Out matchup against USC, per the Big Ten’s Wednesday availability report.

Tatsch has appeared in four games for Penn State so far in 2026, tallying 11 total tackles, 1.5 tackles-for-loss, one sack, and one forced fumble. The sophomore linebacker made a name for himself in limited action a season ago, and is now a valuable member of the rotation in Tyson Veidt’s room.

Nnodim has played in Penn State’s last three games after coming back from an injury prior to the Buffalo game. He’s made his presence known through the limited time, registering eight total tackles and one tackle-for-loss.

Players out against the Trojans are the same exact ones that missed action against Northwestern. They include wide receiver Koby Howard, defensive ends Lavar Arrington II, Max Granville, Mason Robinson, and Dayshaun Burnett, cornerbacks Joshua Johnson, Christian Askew, and Tyler Armstead, linebacker Cam Smith, offensive lineman Will Tompkins, tight end Cooper Alexander, and kicker Cristiano Rosa.
