    KEAGEN TROST

    MISSOURI
    Height: 6’4 5/8″
    Weight: 311 lbs
    Arm: 32 3/8″
    Hand:
    9 1/4″
    Wing: 80 7/8″

    PROSPECT ANALYSIS

    Seventh-year senior with 42 starts between four different schools. Trost’s improvement from 2024 to 2025 was obvious on tape. Battles against Missouri’s Zion Young and Damon Wilson II got him game-ready to handle his work against good SEC competition. He has a broad, proportional build and plays with good body control/firmness through contact. Pro edge speed could push him inside to guard, where his tackle experience and ability to play in gap or zone scheme are differentiators. Position versatility, toughness and a ready-made frame give Trost a chance to eventually become a starter.

Pro edge speed could push him inside to guard, where his tackle experience and ability to play in gap or zone scheme are differentiators. Position versatility, toughness and a ready-made frame give Trost a chance to eventually become a starter.

    Strengths

    Build is broad and solid with good lean mass on his frame.
    Has strength/athleticism to play in all run-blocking schemes.
    Leverages hand strikes and stays centered on the block.
    Hand strength and upper-body power to maul if needed.
    Climb is under control and ready for contact with linebackers.
    Transitions from punch to grip for quicker rush control.
    Improved hand usage helps firmness of his anchor.
    Redirects weight to inside moves with adequate fluidity.

    Weaknesses

    Below-average ground gain with his first three pass slides.
    Static, two-hand punch is ripe for swipes and counters.
    Needs to keep weight back and guard against reaching/leaning.
    Higher pad level could be a concern if he moves inside.
    Inconsistent footwork to improve positioning in run game.

    Trost is a guard. Their 2 starting guards hit free agency after 2026. They can’t keep both.

    Dane Bruglar on Keagon Trost: “will need some mechanical tweaks for a move inside, but that shouldn’t be a major issue.

    He is a technique-focused blocker with steady feet and physical hands. His ceiling isn’t sky high, but the position flex only boosts his usefulness.”

    from https://theramswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/rams/2026/04/24/rams-keagen-trost-pff-grade-julian-sayin-jeremiyah-love/89787147007/

    The Los Angeles Rams addressed their offensive line in the third round on Friday night, selecting Keagen Trost out of Missouri at No. 93 overall. The versatile offensive lineman can play just about any position up front, so he’ll provide depth at multiple spots for the Rams.

    He may not have been a highly ranked player by experts, but his performance in 2025 was outstanding. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed just one sack and six total pressures last season, earning a 92.4 offensive grade from the outlet.

    The NFL Network broadcast noted that there were only two offensive players in the FBS who were graded higher than Trost in 2025: Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love and Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin.

    Both were Heisman finalists, and Love was the third overall pick in this year’s draft. That’s the company Trost kept last year.

    His run-blocking grade of 91.7 was first among offensive tackles, as was his 92.4 overall grade. He can both pass protect and block in the run game, which makes him a well-rounded offensive lineman who can win at multiple positions.

    Just got to the tape of Missouri RT Keagen Trost and I can’t believe that people aren’t talking about him more. His film is outstanding. Love his mean streak and movement skills in the run game + he went through the gauntlet of SEC rushers (Howell, Faulk, Crawford, Stewart, Rhodes, Pierre, etc.) – he gets to his landmarks well and has a very good anchor.

    Think he’s best for a zone blocking scheme – I didn’t see the stiffness or pad level concerns that some flagged. Needs to clean up his footwork, but there really isn’t a fatal flaw in his game. Gonna have a hard time convincing me that Trost isn’t a Day 2 player.

    According to PFF, Trost was the nation’s best run blocker with a grade of 91.4. He ranked 27th among all offensive linemen who played at least 542 snaps. If you narrow the field to tackles only, Trost improves to eighth at his position group. He allowed just seven pressures, one sack, and four penalties on 432 snaps in pass protection. Overall Trost ranked first in PFF offensive grade among tackles and all linemen last season.
