Seven Up: Week 11's top 2026 NFL Draft stock raisers as the games dwindle down
Another week, another Seven Up.
The Week 11 slate of College Football games might have been a bit shallow, but the amount of 2026 NFL Draft talent that stood out was immense. And that is headlined by the man in the cover image here, Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter.
Who joins Trotter in this week’s edition of Seven Up, my weekly column of NFL Draft standouts? This week's feature includes a Big Ten center, pass rusher, and running back, an ACC cornerback, and an SEC safety and tight end, in addition to the Missouri linebacker.
We’re starting to get some repeat performers as well, as the underclassmen who are true threats to declare for the draft versus going back to school continue to narrow out.
Enjoy!
Jeremiah Trotter has more than just the special teamer for the Philadelphia Eagles to claim as his son. Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter is his younger son, and he may just be three times the prospect that his brother was coming out of Clemson.
Listed at 6-foot-2 and 238 pounds, Trotter is a physical and instinctive linebacker from the second level of the Tigers’ defense. He plays with heavy hands, punching blockers with true knockback power, and shows explosiveness to trigger downhill in a hurry.
Against Texas A&M this weekend, Trotter’s tape was exceptional. While the box score shows just one stop tackle and one pressure on six total tackles, what he did in run fits and in coverage shone bright. And it probably wasn’t even his best tape this season.
Trotter has the makings of a top-50 player and potentially LB4 in this class behind only the Ohio State duo and Georgia’s C.J. Allen.
