Josiah Trotter Jr's Player Profile

Josiah Trotter is a downhill, heat-seeking linebacker who plays with violence, urgency, and strong instincts against the run, making him one of the more dependable box defenders in the 2026 class. He projects best as a three-down inside linebacker who can diagnose quickly, beat blockers to the spot, and bring consistent physicality in a run-heavy role.

Strengths: His biggest strengths are his run-defense instincts and his physicality at the point of attack, which let him diagnose quickly, shed blocks, and punish runners in the hole.

Weaknesses: His biggest weaknesses are his coverage stiffness, especially when asked to turn and run or handle play-action, and his limitations with zone awareness, where he can be late to identify threats or get pulled out of position.
