Final Report
Trotter transferred to Missouri and immediately became one of the SEC’s best linebackers. Trotter plays with a relentless energy. He does a good job shedding blockers and when he hits people they are stopped in their tracks. As a blitzer he consistently wreaks havoc in backfields leading to negative plays. Trotter in coverage present day is a liability. He can get flat footed in zone and has gotten worked by some tight ends when tasked white defending them in man. He is a young player who is still a tick slow upstairs at times and leads to issues fitting the run. Trotter is super young at just 20 years old and could have likely benefited from another year in college. He should be an early downs backer to start and as the game slows down for him should be a starter one day.
