Keagen Trost finished a seven-season college career in 2025 and has turned his attention to the 2026 NFL Draft. If he hears his name called, he would become the fifth tackle drafted from Missouri since Eli Drinkwitz took over in 2020.
Trost’s path was as long as it was scattered. He started at Morgan State in 2019, spent the next four seasons at Indiana State, committed to Wake Forest for 2024 and landed at Missouri in 2025. By the end, he had played for four programs and logged 2,839 total snaps across seven seasons, according to Pro Football Focus. He had only 67 snaps before his final four seasons, then emerged as a starter in 2022 at Indiana State, where he started 11 games and posted a 72 blocking grade.
That climb matters because Trost enters the draft cycle as one of the most experienced players at any position, and his final season gave teams another long look at him. He is listed at 6-foot-4 5/8 and 311 pounds, with a 9 1/4 hand, a 32 3/8 arm and an 80.88 wingspan. The source provided no reported 40-yard dash, 10-yard split, broad jump or bench press results.
His time at Wake Forest was the heaviest workload of his career, with a personal-best 772 snaps, most of them at right tackle. That late surge is the thread running through his profile: a player who spent years building up to a full-time role, then used his final stops to show he could handle volume. Missouri has recently sent offensive tackles Marcus Bryant and Armand Membou into the 2025 draft, and Trost now joins that line as the next possible addition.
The unanswered question is not whether Trost has traveled a long road. It is whether teams see enough in the size, experience and late-career growth to make him Missouri’s next drafted tackle.
