Notre Dame Offers Pennsylvania Linebacker Alex Tatsch

With the recent offer from the Irish, Tatsch continues to rack up some impressive offers from some prominent programs, sitting as one of the fast risers at linebacker in the class. Some of the top teams that have extended offers include the Irish, USC, Penn State, Wisconsin, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Stanford, Maryland, South Carolina, Kentucky, Pitt, Boston College, Duke, Cincinnati, Syracuse and West Virginia among others.

Tatsch has also seen his recruiting ranking start to get a bump as well. He is currently rated as a four-star recruit on the On3 Industry ranking and on Rivals. The latter sees him the highest, currently sitting as the No. 220 overall player and No. 18 linebacker in the 2025 recruiting class.

The 6-2, 210-pound linebacker had a really nice junior season. In 11 games, Tatsch recorded 79 total tackles, seven tackles for loss and four sacks. He also recorded four interceptions and forced three fumbles as well.

Tatsch was also utilized at running back a little bit offensively. He rushed the ball 55 times for 364 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 6.6 yards per reception. As a pass receiver, Tatsch also hauled in seven receptions for 108 yards and another score. 

Notre Dame has one linebacker committed in the class, and that would be Elmhurst (Ill.) Immaculate Conception standout Dominik Hulak. Hulak, however, is being recruited as more of a hybrid player than a pure linebacker.
