STATE COLLEGE — Penn State defensive tackle Anthony Zettel is amassing quite a collection of viral videos.

There’s the one of him recreating Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance in his dorm room as a freshman, another where he uproots a tree with a tackle and a spot of him doing his best dinosaur and pig-in-a-slaughterhouse impressions.

The senior’s most recent release shows him bouncing on his feet before leaping and delivering a devastating spin kick to a water bottle held high by a teammate.

“I saw that,” Penn State coach James Franklin said. “He’s had a lot of videos. He’s really interesting.”

Even more so when paired with Austin Johnson.

The junior defensive tackle joins Zettel to form one of college football’s most dangerous inside tandems. They also could be the country’s most colorful defensive duo. But tackling a tree doesn’t interest Johnson — he won’t try to top Zettel there.

It may be the only thing they’re not competitive about.

“I’m just a natural athlete so I’m better than him at most stuff,” Johnson said with a grin recently. “Of course he thinks so, too. That’s how everybody should feel.”

Poll Penn State players and most have their minds made up as to which one of their star tackles is better at what.

The 6-foot-4, 323-pound Johnson is nimble for a big man. Nimble enough to top Zettel on the basketball court, teammates say. He tends to give off a more intimidating vibe, too, with more tattoos and a dyed blonde mohawk. On the field, Johnson is better suited to take on double teams — and blow them up.

Zettel, at 6-foot-4 and 284 pounds, is better with a golf club — he sunk his second hole-in-one in June — and gets the edge as a more complete dancer. His martial arts skills appear to be ahead of Johnson’s (a trait Zettel boasts). He’s also the better pass-rusher, with 16 sacks over the last three seasons.

But what would one be without the other?

The friendly rivalry only helps both players.

“I couldn’t ask for a better teammate,” Zettel said. “He’s made me 100 percent better.”

Johnson says Zettel is “really good at everything,” playing a similar style at a different position.

They fueled one another last season.
