2025 WPIAL LB Learns A Lot About Pitt During Junior Day Visit
The Latrobe High School football program was definitely in the spotlight over the weekend as two of their star players were making headlines. 2025 four-star linebacker Alex Tatsch closed down his recruitment and gave a verbal commitment to James Franklin and Penn State. Tatsch’s teammate, John...

Shane Murray was not that athletic either, yet he was 2nd on the team in tackles 2 years in a row on BE contending teams. Jerry O was not that athletic or had size. He is one of the top LBs in school history and even started a couple years in the pros.
Sometimes just being a football player is good enough.
What possible reason would I have to watch a committed Nit’s video?
I thought this was the other kid, John Wetzel , who did not commit anywhere yet. Am I wrong?
It is Wetzel.
Kid does not hold his position and make tackles, he runs to the ball and drives through the ball carrier.
Zero yards after contact. No dragging tackler for an extra three yards.
There's no burst when he needs to close on the ball. Looks like the run of the mill WPIAL linebacker.
Then why did we offer him... and Specca... and Sullivan... and Burnett, etc.?
Has Narduzzi lost his touch when it comes to identifying talent? Our linebackers weren't good last season. Or the season before that, frankly.
I don't think they offered the Wetzel kid, just had him down for Jr day. Frankly, I don't care for either of the Latrobe guys.
The article says he’s a LB commit, seems like his speed is in the 4.5 4.6 range. Plenty fast enough, plays faster since he gets threw traffic and off blocks. I thought his tape looked good.
I saw a football player watching those films. Maybe not the greatest athlete but athletic enough. But the kid can play football.
