Jeremiah Trotter Jr.'s hard work paying off in 'elite' play leading Clemson defense

CLEMSON – ACC Linebacker of the Week, Walter Camp National Player of the Week, Chuck Bednarik Award Player of the Week, Bronco Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week and Butkus Award semifinalist.

That’s the list of awards and honors Jeremiah Trotter Jr. has beside his name after last week’s performance against Notre Dame, where he became only the fifth FBS player since 2005 to have double-digit tackles, at least 2.5 tackles for loss, two or more sacks and a pick-six in a single game.

The junior linebacker out of Hainesport (NJ) began the season with a nagging hamstring injury but stayed the course and is now reaping the benefits.
