- Rams pick Missouri OL Keagen Trost in NFL draft third round: Highlights, stats
Keagen Trost's long and winding road through college has led him to the league.
Trost, the seventh-year senior who spent one strong season with Missouri football as the Tigers ' starting right tackle, is officially heading to the league after the Los Angeles Rams used the No. 93-overall pick on the veteran lineman in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft on Friday, April 24, in Pittsburgh .

The offensive lineman is the fourth Mizzou player to come off the board in this year's draft. Defensive end Zion Young was the No. 45-overall pick to Baltimore , and linebacker Josiah Trotter followed one selection later as the No. 46 pick to Tampa Bay. Chris McClellan was drafted in the third round with the No. 77 pick to Green Bay.
Mizzou has now sent its starting right tackle to the NFL as a draft pick in back-to-back seasons, as Armand Membou was the No. 7-overall pick by the Jets in 2025.
Trost, 25, is likely to make the switch from offensive tackle to offensive guard in the NFL. He transferred to Mizzou ahead of the 2025 season after one year at Wake Forest. The remainder of his college career was spent at the FCS level, starting out at Morgan State in 2019 and the 2020-23 seasons with Indiana State.
Now, Kankakee, Illinois, native is heading to L.A.

After producing a top-10 draft pick in Armand Membou, right tackle was a question mark for Mizzou. Trost, a seventh-year veteran out of the transfer portal, answered that question, and then some.
He was PFF's highest-graded offensive tackle in the 2025 season, allowing only seven QB pressures on more than 400 pass-blocking snaps.
Trost consistently rose up the college ranks over seven seasons in the sport.
He played more than 2,500 snaps at the college level.

Keagen Trost draft grade
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz, USA Today: "Trost took a significant step forward last season, and he offers versatility along any front. He offers depth for a team that looks settled along the front for now but could use some long-term solutions. Grade:B-."
Does Keagen Trost fit Rams' needs?
Nate Davis, USA Today: "He might not start right away for a Super Bowl-ready team, but LA needs a long-term answer at right tackle following Rob Havenstein 's retirement. Current starter Warren McClendon Jr. is unsigned beyond 2026."
