According to The Eagles Wire, a part of the USA Today family, former Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter was hosted by the Dallas Cowboys. The visit comes ahead of the 2026 draft. Trotter is the son of Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Fame player Jeremiah Trotter and the brother of current Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Jr.

Trotter is from Philadelphia and was a transfer from West Virginia during the 2025-26 season. He started in 12 games this past season, with the one game he missed being in the Gator Bowl vs. Virginia after undergoing knee surgery, according to Mizzou Athletics.

In Missouri's game against Oklahoma this past season, Trotter recorded a game-high 13 tackles, marking his season-high. He also had 1.5 tackles for a loss totaling 6 yards and added one quarterback hurry.

Trotter declared for the draft during his redshirt sophomore year with Missouri. He is ranked No. 66 on the Pro Football Focus's Big Board and is expected to be selected on Day 2 of the draft.
