What draft experts said about new Rams OT Keagen Trost in scouting reports
Read pre-draft scouting reports for new Rams OT Keagen Trost, one of the best linemen in the country last season.
The Los Angeles Rams added a versatile piece to their offensive line in the third round, selecting Keagen Trost out of Missouri . He played guard and tackle in college, and after the Rams drafted him, Sean McVay said he envisions Trost being able to play all five positions across the front. Pre-draft scouting reports pegged him as both a tackle and guard, though many experts saw him moving inside in the NFL.
Both Lance Zierlein of NFL. com and Dane Brugler graded Trost later than he was drafted, with Zierlein pegging him as a fourth-rounder and Brugler as a fifth. Here's what each expert wrote about Trost in their scouting reports before the draft.
Lance Zierlein, NFL. com Seventh-year senior with 42 starts between four different schools. Trost’s improvement from 2024 to 2025 was obvious on tape.
Battles against Missouri’s Zion Young and Damon Wilson II got him game-ready to handle his work against good SEC competition. He has a broad, proportional build and plays with good body control/firmness through contact.
