Draft Profile: Bio
Keagen Trost played high school ball at Kankakee in Illinois, earning two-time all-conference honors and serving as team captain his final two years. A three-star recruit per 247Sports in the 2019 cycle, he started his college career at Morgan State, picking up two starts as a true freshman before transferring to Indiana State. He spent four seasons with the Sycamores, appearing in 22 games with 13 starts at tackle, but never stood out beyond a competent FCS starter.A move to Wake Forest for 2024 brought a step up in competition. Trost started 11 games at right tackle, helping the offense produce nine games with 100-plus rushing yards. Solid, but nothing that turned NFL heads.
Then he landed at Missouri for his seventh college season, and the production changed completely. Playing right tackle in the SEC, Trost earned first-team All-American recognition from PFF and second-team honors from Walter Camp. He played all 891 offensive snaps across 13 games, anchored the nation's eighth-ranked rushing attack, and allowed almost nothing in pass protection. Missouri's offensive line landed on the Joe Moore Award Watch List, and Trost took home SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after the South Carolina win. Fifty career games across four programs, and the best version showed up last.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Fires off the ball on drive blocks and walks defenders backward with square pads and a grinding base.
- Gets to the second level with pads under control and walls off linebackers before they scrape to the ball.
- Hands arrive early in pass protection; catches rushers in the chest before they build momentum on the bull.
- Gave SEC pass rushers almost nothing to work with all season, staying clean snap after snap at right tackle.
- Never came off the field for Missouri in 2025; the coaching staff clearly never considered spelling him.
- Stays patient in his vertical sets, keeps his chest over his toes, and lets speed rushers run into his power.
- Has seen every stunt and twist imaginable after 50 games at four schools across two levels of football.
- The Missouri run tape is where he sells himself, especially the South Carolina and Mississippi State games.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Arms at 32 3/8 inches are guard length, and you see it when speed rushers work to his edge.
- Feet die on him against inside-out counters; when a rusher stutters and redirects, he lunges instead of sliding.
- Lack of recovery speed shows on tape; once a rusher gets his outside shoulder, the rep is over.
- Four years of average tape before Missouri makes you wonder how much of the 2025 breakout was scheme.
- Bites on high-side fakes, stops his feet to punch down the middle, and surrenders the corner.
Scouting Report: Summary
The 2025 Missouri tape is going to get Trost on boards, and it should. You watch those run reps against South Carolina and Mississippi State, and the guy is moving people. His hands land early, his base stays wide, and he grinds defenders off the spot with conviction. Pass protection was clean too, even against SEC edge talent. But when you go back and watch the Wake Forest film from 2024, it looks like a different player. The gap between those two seasons is wide enough to make you pause. And the arms are a problem. At 32 3/8 inches, that is guard length, and you can see it on film when a rusher gets to his edge with any kind of bend. He just cannot keep guys wide enough to win those reps consistently.The best fit is in a gap or power-heavy scheme where he can play swing tackle and kick inside to guard when needed. His run-blocking power translates in a phone-booth setting, and the guard-length arms actually work in his favor inside, where he can get into defenders' chests quickly without worrying about keeping speed wide. Fifty career games across four schools means nothing surprises him in terms of fronts or pressures.
Trost sticks on a roster because he does not make mistakes, plays through the whistle, and fills in at multiple spots without the offense losing its identity. The ceiling is capped by his athletic tools, and asking him to start at tackle every week against NFL speed off the edge is a tough ask. But as a swing backup who contributes in the run game and holds his own in spot duty, he belongs.
