At Pick 46 of this year’s NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers grabbed Missouri LB Josiah Trotter.

Trotter only played two seasons of college football, missing his freshman year at West Virginia with an injury.

In 2024, Trotter made a big first impression,  becoming the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year.

The next season, Trotter transferred to Missouri, and became a first-team All Big 12 performer.

Trotter comes from a football family. His father, Jeremiah Trotter, briefly played with the Bucs in 2007 but is best known for his three stints with the Philadelphia Eagles (1998-2001, 2004-06, 2009), where he was a two-time All-Pro. Trotter’s older brother, Jeremiah Jr., played at Clemson from 2021-23 and won a Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2024.
