Josiah Trotter is heading to the Southeastern Conference.
On Monday, the former West Virginia linebacker and son of former NFL linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Sr. announced he’s transfering to Missouri and coach Eliah Drinkwitz. ESPN’s Pete Thamel first reported Trotter’s decision to join the Tigers.
“I’m home Mizzou,” Josiah Trotter wrote on X (formerly Twitter) after posting a photo of him in a Missouri jersey.
Thamel reported that Drinkwitz and Missouri beat out Washington in the sweepstakes for Josiah Trotter. He entered the transfer portal on Dec. 4, three days after the Mountaineers fired Neil Brown and eight days before hiring his successor in former West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez.
247Sports listed Trotter as the No. 5 linebacker in the transfer portal.
After redshirting his true freshman year rehabbing from a lower-leg injury that he sustained in spring practice, the 6-foot-2 linebacker had a breakout season for the Mountaineers this year. In 12 games this season, Josiah Trotter finished with 93 total tackles (four for a loss), two broken-up passes, an interception and half a sack en route to winning the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year — which marked a first in program history.
He finished with 10 or more tackles in four games this season for the Mountaineers against Penn State, Kansas, Iowa State and Cincinnati.
Josiah Trotter is the younger brother of former Clemson linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr., who was selected in the third round of the NFL draft in April by the Philadelphia Eagles. He is the fourth player in the transfer portal to commit to Missouri this offseason, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune’s Calum McAndrew.
Josiah Trotter 247Sports ranking
- As prospect: Three-star recruit | No. 44 ranked linebacker | No. 9 prospect in Pennsylvania
- As transfer: Three-star recruit | No. 5 ranked linebacker
Josiah Trotter was ranked as a three-star recruit and the No. 5 linebacker in the transfer portal, according to 247Sports. He received similar rankings out of high school at St. Joe’s Prep by 247Sports’ Composite rankings, which had him as a three-star recruit and the No. 44 linebacker in the 2023 recruiting class.

Ding! Ding! Virginia Beach trolley season kicks off May 10
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Four new trollies will join the VB Wave Trolley fleet beginning May 10, when Virginia Beach Wave Trolley will resume its seasonal service along the oceanfront.
Trolley season lasts through September 25-27 for the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival.
A total of 14 new trollies will be part of the fleet this year, gradually replacing the older versions. The 29-foot trolley replica buses seat 29 people and feature wooden seats, with “sky-blue and sand-colored brown exterior,” according to Hampton Roads Transit (HRTS). Last year, 281,507 riders used the trolley system.
“This year marks the 42nd season of the VB Wave trolley, and these new trollies will provide a comfortable, safe, and efficient ride for visitors and locals alike,” William E. Harrell said. He is the president and CEO of HRT. “As part of our partnership with the city of Virginia Beach, the VB Wave makes it easy for everyone to visit attractions and explore the Oceanfront and beyond without the hassles of parking or the high cost of gas,” Harrell said.
The following routes will operate May 10 through Sept. 27 for the Neptune Festival:
Route 30 is the Atlantic Avenue Trolley, running along the Oceanfront between JT’s Grommet Island Park to Fortieth Street. This service operates daily from 8 a.m.- 2 a.m.
Route 31 is the aquarium and campground trolley along General Booth Boulevard. It runs daily from 9:30 a.m.-11:10 p.m. through Labor Day and again on Fridays through Sundays from Sept. 11 through Sept. 27. Route 31 also extends to Atlantic Avenue and 18th Street.
Route 35 is the Bayfront Bus, providing service between Parks Avenue and 19th Street and Shore Drive and Pleasure House Road, enabling customers to visit Chesapeake Bay beaches, First Landing State Park, and Bayfront restaurants. It operates daily from 8 a.m.-12:30 a.m. through Labor Day and then Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays only from Sept. 11 through the Sept. 27 festival
The VB Wave trolley connects to HRT bus lines, Routes 20 and 960, with access to the Newtown Road Light Rail Station and the Downtown Norfolk Transit Center.
Fares are $2 one way or $4.50 for an all-day pass. Kids 17 and under ride free with a paying adult. Riders can pay for tickets using HRT’s GoMobile app and a credit card. Riders can create and manage multiple virtual cards and reload value for easy group boarding, and need to have a unique scannable virtual card for boarding. Children are not required to scan a virtual card or pay fare when boarding with an adult.
Customers can also tap to pay using credit and debit cards. KOA Campground, Virginia Gift Shop, nine Sunsations locations, and Ocean Wave Gift Shop sell tickets. Riders can also pay with exact change cash onboard the trolley.
In addition, HRT is introducing a new route in Virginia Beach beginning May 10. The new Route 981 will connect the Amazon Fulfillment Center (ORF 4) at 1795 Dam Neck Road with the Downtown Norfolk Transit Center.
Route 33 service is being restored to Atlantic Avenue and 68th Street 365 days a year to support the oceanfront hospitality industry.
