2024 Linebacker Scouting Notes
An early look into the 2024 linebacker class with stats, comps and notes.
It’s never too early to start looking at the next crop of prospects for the NFL draft - I’ve been on 2024 since mid-April. I’ll be releasing the notes I’ve taken so far on a few prospects - starting with the quarterbacks and releasing a different position group each week. This week we look at the linebacker class.
These are not complete scouting reports but some observations I’ve made so far. Enjoy
+ Positives and strengths
- Negatives or needs work
? Questions I still have, things I haven’t seen on tape yet
Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Clemson, 6’0, 230
+ Plays bigger than he is - plays like he is 250 lbs
+ Lives in the backfield and is a surprisingly good blitzer (6.5 sacks)
+ Complete linebacker - can play run, drop in coverage and blitz QB
+ NFL pedigree (Jeremiah Trotter Sr played in NFL)
- Needs to add strength to handle interior lineman
- Short for the position
? Can he be a pass rusher in the NFL
