COLUMBIA, Mo. — Trotter family football games must be hard-hitting endeavors. What else could backyard football look like in a household full of linebackers?
There’s Jeremiah Trotter Sr., who spent 11 years in the NFL, mostly with the Philadelphia Eagles, as the patriarch. He earned All-American honors twice at Stephen F. Austin and was twice an NFL All-Pro, making it into the Eagles’ Hall of Fame in 2016.
Jeremiah Jr., himself a two-time All-American at Clemson, is fresh off winning the Super Bowl in his rookie season, also with the Eagles.
And then there’s Josiah Trotter, Missouri’s new starting middle linebacker and the relative up-and-comer of his family.
