Penn State LB Alex Tatsch arrives as a developmental Mike backer with solid baseline value
Alex Tatsch is a Penn State linebacker with a 70 overall rating in EA SPORTS College Football 26 and a listed 6'2" frame, which points to a physically credible Mike backer profile right away. His appeal is more about upside and fit than star-power: he was a highly regarded prep prospect who committed to Penn State in February 2024, and his profile suggests a disciplined, middle-of-the-defense role where toughness, processing, and consistency matter. For a team looking for a growth piece rather than an instant headline-maker, he is a reasonable fit with room to develop.
