Coach says: “As the younger brother of Penn State commit Alex Tatsch, Andy has seen first-hand what it takes to excel on the football field. He is the first player to practice and the last to leave. His physical presence is evident, but his leadership and commitment to making himself and the program the best it can be often goes unnoticed. He is a sure handed receiver as well as an excellent blocker. Defensively, he is like having another coach on the field. He is constantly vocal and communicating on the field to ensure the defense is lined up and in position to have success. He is a dynamic mix of a sure downhill tackler and a rangy defensive back in pass coverage. He is truly someone who could excel at almost any position on the field.”
