Clemson star linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. declares for the 2024 NFL draft

Clemson star linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is taking his talents to the NFL.

One of Clemson’s top players has made a decision on his future.

Junior linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. has announced that he has declared for the 2024 NFL draft and will not participate in Clemson’s bowl game. Trotter’s final Clemson performance came in the Tigers’ 16-7 rivalry win over South Carolina.

“After long thought and prayer, I am officially announcing that I am taking the next step in a lifelong dream and declaring for the 2024 NFL draft,” Trotter wrote in an Instagram post.

“I will always be a Clemson Tiger! GO TIGERS!”

Trotter started all 12 games on the Clemson defense this season, ranking first on the team in tackles (87), tackles for loss (14.5) and sacks (5.5). He had a phenomenal season, which should help his draft stock.

While it is sad to see him go, Trotter has a bright future ahead of him in the NFL.
