If you’re anything like me, you’ve been riding the Missouri Football transfer portal news roller coaster for over a week now. Monday got the week off to a rough start for Eli Drinkwitz’s program, but things picked up in the evening as the staff reeled in a trio of transfers. The crown jewel of the day was Josiah Trotter, an NFL bloodline linebacker from West Virginia University.
Trotter was a force last season for the Mountaineers, earning the title of Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year and starting every game at middle linebacker. He accumulated 93 tackles, one interception, half a sack, 2 PBU’s, and 4 TFL’s in his first season on the field.
