Jeremiah Trotter Jr. brings NFL bloodlines, instinct, and downhill violence to Clemson
Trotter Jr. is a high-floor linebacker whose calling card is fast processing, disciplined run fits, and a relentless play style that shows up even when the box score doesn’t tell the whole story. In his final Clemson season, he posted 88 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and 54 solo stops, finishing his Tigers career with 202 tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, 13 pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and four interceptions. Scouts praised his football IQ and physicality, while noting his average range and limitations in space. He looks like a tone-setter who fits a defense that values instinct, toughness, and reliability.
