Clemson linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. has earned another All-American honor, this time as a first team member by ESPN.
This season, Trotter had a team-high 88 tackles, a team-leading 15.0 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, six pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and two interceptions over 676 snaps over 12 games. He took one of his interceptions to the house. Here is what writer Chris Low had to say about the star linebacker.
Each of Trotter’s past two seasons have been ultra productive, and now he’s off to the NFL after leading Clemson in total tackles (88), tackles for loss (15) and sacks (5.5) in 2023. One of three finalists for the Butkus Award as the top linebacker in the nation, the 6-foot, 230-pound Trotter is more than just a tackling machine. He broke up six passes and also had two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown.
Trotter was once again a stud this season, and he ended his career at Clemson on a high note after the Tigers’ win over South Carolina. The NFL is next up for the talented linebacker.
