After attending Colerain High School, Kattus spent five years at the University of Michigan, where he redshirtted one year and was a varsity letterman for four, while wearing the #81. As a redshirt freshman, he was a member of the 1982 Big Ten Champions who went to the Rose Bowl. At the University of Michigan he earned All Big Ten Conference honors in his senior season. He was captain and started all 12 games for Bo Schembechler's Michigan team that ended the season ranked #2 in both the A.P. and U.P.I. polls after a Fiesta Bowl victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers gave them a 10-1-1 record for the season.
